Our aim is to raise funds to support ourselves and other artists as we work on emergent social and community art projects and grief tending.

What's Dying To Live? Is the first in a series of projects we are working on in collaboration with The Emergence Network (TEN) . 

We are a collective of artists exploring death, decay, grief, fertility and emergent life.We are tending to the enormity of loss in our world at present and desire to create held spaces of creativity, communal exploration, contemplation and somatic movement.

In order to be able to offer these events as donation based with no one ever being turned away due to a lack of funds, we are turning to the public to ask for help.

What’s Dying To Live?

What’s dying to live in these times of mass crumbling of structures we’ve upheld yet no longer serve the human and non human world?  What do we stand to lose with the song of modernity fading on an ebbing tide? What is longing to live through our letting go and sloughing off? What do we stand to lose if we let our upright abiding human to die a beautiful death? What is dying to be born of our metaphorical and physical compost?  How can we hold grief and joy in both hands? How can we descend into our bodies to become more human/e? How may we be with each other in a space of shared grief?

What's Dying to Live? At present is a 3 day celebration of death, decay, grief, fertility and life.  A dissolution and coagulation of art, somatic movement practice, quiet contemplation, music, workshops and more. 

Our goal is to be able to hold more of these community events for grief tending and community outreach, hopefully on a weekly basis.

We are forever grateful to you for any support you are able to offer, no donation is too small. It takes all of us to make a difference.

With love
