Holding Our Own: Home Funerals and Collective Wisdom with Bec Lyons

We all know a little more than we think, when it comes to caring for each other. In communities, we have been serving each other in death for thousands of years and this workshop is an invitation to consider what that means to us today. We will come together to consider what home funeral is, what it could look like and how we can pool our wisdom to help make it happen for each other. Through the consideration of scenarios, groups will be asked to work out how we can show up for each other in home funeral in a variety of ways. This will require active participation through group work, brainstorming, and generous sharing of the collective wisdom we all hold. The aim is that you walk away with a sense of empowerment and the knowledge that it may just be achievable.
