Grief takes many shapes. It lives in our bodies, our memories, our relationships & the ways we move through the world.
Some losses are visible, while others are carried quietly. Presented by Derek Dizon, founder of A Resting Place, as part of Visions of Worldbuilding , this workshop series invites participants to explore grief through creative expression, reflection & remembrance. Through mask-making and letter-writing, we’ll make space for the many ways we experience loss, honor those who came before us & give shape to what we carry.
