Join us in creating portals for ritual, grief, death, and devotion in this workshop led by ceramicist Janelle Gramling and death doula Abby Goelzer. Altars offer sacred space for us to visit each day and make offerings of devotion to the things and people, present and past, that we hold dear. They help us weave ritual into our daily lives which strengthens our bonds with ourselves and the more than human world. In this class we will walk through what it means to build an altar and what yours might hold, from pictures and symbols for your beloved dead to special trinkets and objects that remind you daily what is important to you. We'll spend our time meditating, talking (optional!), and building in community, infusing an energy of love and devotion into these small thresholds that will mark the space where you commune with the ecstatic energy of the universe.
