Losing a beloved pet or person is incredibly difficult. We can keep them close through veneration, in which we tell their stories, listen to their favorite songs, or create art in their honor. We can also create memorial dioramas—small altars or shrines to memorialize our beloveds and their lives, so that they can be gone but not forgotten. In this daylong workshop, we will—with guidance and support from death doula Lauren Seeley—create our own memorial dioramas for a dead loved one. We will also learn about the importance of memorializing, honoring those who have gone, and creating in our grief, as well as the history of altars, shrines, and preservation both in public and private spaces.
