Two very capable (and healthy!) students joined me in my workshop back in August of this year to weave their own coffins, some might say it’s morbid.
Death is part of the life cycle so why is it taboo in our culture? Isn’t it strange that sometimes we don’t seem to even acknowledge it’s existence, struggling to mention words about death in a conversation? With all that is going on at the moment it feels like it’s become even more taboo. It will always be sad to lose someone you love, so surely being open, sharing in our grief and talking about death is healthier than suffering it alone.
Teaching a couple to weave their coffins was a beautiful thing for me to be a part of. The care and the time, working together in the therapeutic process of weaving.
