Do I need to attend both sessions?

Yes, we recommend attending both sessions as it is a series. Part one (10/29) will be about the history and context of death shrouds and part two (11/3) will be more hands on. If you cannot attend both, please let the organizers know.

Will I be able to work on my own death shroud?

Yes! In the second session of the series on 11/3, we will have time carved out for everyone to touch materials, explore symbolism and chat with our organizers in an effort to help folks plan their own shroud.

Any questions you have related to death shrouds, symbols that might resonate with you and even fabrics that you might want to use or incorporate in your death shroud.

Design Your Own Death Shroud: 2-Part Workshop

In many traditions and lineages, people are surrounded by cloth at the time of their burial. Often these cloths are plain, solid colors and some are ornate with symbols of protection for the deceased or symbols that tell the story of one’s life.

Join Death Doula, Katie Cosgrove, and ritual leader/embroidery artist, Lane-Mairead Campbell, in a 2-session series that explores how to design our own death shroud. Utilizing imaginative meditation, cultural and historical exploration, and symbology, participants will emerge with their own shroud design as well as the tools to equip them to make their own or to find folks to make them.

This ticket covers both sessions of the class. Both sessions will take place at the Unreliable Narrator, 302 N. Goodman, Ste. #E101, Rochester, NY.

No one turned away for lack of funds. If you require a scholarship, please email Lane-Mairead Campbell at: lanemaireadcampbell@gmail.com.
