Language and the Altar
From the series On Death, Grief, and the Importance of the Archive, exploring grief, embodiment, & care with Le’Andra LeSeur & guest doulas.
On the occasion of Le’Andra LeSeur: Monument Eternal, LeSeur brings together death doulas Resham Mantri and Trishia Frulla to lead a two-day workshop examining the enduring effects of grief. Together, they will explore how grief is embodied and carried through collective memory. They will also highlight the role of the personal archive as a vital act of care that disrupts cycles of violence and systemic erasure.
“In a society where we are living in the shadows of colonialism, slavery, mass violence, and capitalism, our focus and attention has been trained to jump from one violent act to the next. In acknowledging deep, often generational grief, we understand better how to care for ourselves. We begin to slow down. This is the cornerstone. The backbone of love. We aim to bring love, acceptance, honesty, and joy to our grief work. This is how we create new worlds that inherently resist what is no longer serving us.” — Resham Mantri
