Deer ones,

Deerly Departed is a Workshop Series designed to help us explore the nature of death and dying through working with the Deer as our allies. We will move through 5 domains: Physical, Mental, Emotional, Spiritual & Practical. Through actively engaging in skill based process work we will craft a series of meaningful objects that we can carry as tools of transformation in our lives. These tools will co relate with conscious dying principles to aid us in our journey towards embracing death as a sacred time of transition, honouring life and relaxing into the mystery that encompasses it all. We will be moving through a coaching practice called the B3M, which poses a series of prompt based questions for us to take action on throughout our time together. This personally reflective process combined with hands on skill development also offers us the opportunity to engage in relational dialogue as a group and initiate ritual practices as a collective, in a supportive and intentional space.

As a pilot project the nature of this series will be fluid and structured in a way that allows for us to engage in co creative practices, shaping what unfolds as a collective through active listening.
