Green Burials
with Raymond Morrison
Natural and green burials offer options to express our care for the earth, even in death. Additionally, they open doorways to community-driven care with a personal, intimate, non-dogmatic, pragmatic and spiritual approach to returning to the earth and the mystery. In this workshop, we will explore earth-loving options for your body’s final act.
Three hours will give us time for a solid foundational understanding of green burial, both generally and specifically in terms of local regulations and resources. Raymond will also bring in his experience as a shroud maker and death doula, by offering space for participants to start planting seeds for their own conscious dying/ green burial journeys as well as having a shrouding demonstration.
Join us for lunch (included), from noon-1pm
