Mourning Routine

Mourning Routine is a community space for exploring the topic of death via hands-on workshops and crafts. Participants are challenged to contemplate death through an analog experience in order to return us to a more authentic and personal position in which to view the end of life. By reducing the stigma of discussing death, we can promote mindful living. Learn more at www.mourningroutine.com and follow us @mourningcrafts.
