Every culture has asked what becomes of the dead, and why some linger.
This winter, six teachers from Irish, Scottish, Egyptian, Nepali, and contemporary animist traditions will open their doorways to the work of accompanying the dead. Over six months, from October through March, we’ll move from Irish keening and herbalism to the Pyramid Texts of Saqqara, from Scottish folk tales of the otherworld to Himalayan ancestral rites. We won’t blend these traditions into one system. We’ll listen across their differences and let each teach in its own voice.
Join us as the dark half of the year draws the ancestors close, and learn to meet the unquiet dead with discernment, reverence, and care.
