SUMMARY:Dedtalk
DESCRIPTION:DEDTALK is a community event where we gather and talk about all things death\, loss\, and mortality. At a typical DEDTALK event\, we have a group conversation followed by a mediumship reading. However\, once a year\, around The Day of the Dead\, we skip the group conversation and reading and allow folks to take the stage and express their personal relationship with death via their art of choice- dance\, music\, poetry\, storytelling\, etc. We will also have an ofrenda\, or ancestor altar\, which we encourage guests to bring photos and items for so we can honor those who have passed. \nWe believe that the more we talk about death\, the less taboo it becomes. It allows us to connect deeper as a community\, reduce fears\, and realize what is most important in life. Death is a natural part of life and is nothing to be feared.
