A “soft” opening event for trusted friends, held in a spiritual collective studio space in Ballard. We will come together to discuss death, grief, culture shift, and more. I’m hoping to be able to get feedback about the event to help tailor future events for the public.

Details: Pay-what-you-can, suggested donation $20-25 but anything is appreciated. In Shilshole (Ballard): exact location given with RSVP. Space is limited to 10 participants, please RSVP.

What to bring: your curiosity, and an item representing something you would like to let go of for 2025, to place on a Full Moon in Death altar set up for the event. Wear your comfy pants, we’ll be sitting on the floor.

What to expect: we’ll begin with herbal tea and discussion, before moving into a hands on creative ritual to help us identify parts of our curiosity about death, or shadows of grief we would like to shine light on in the new year.

P.S. I will also have a limited number of 2025 Lunar Calendars for sale, with a reduced price for event attendees of $35, regularly $45.
