Death Fest 2024

We are so excited for the second iteration of Death Fest, coming this November.  Death Fest will be held at Montfair Resort Farm in Crozet, VA and is a donation-based communal gathering honoring death and dying. RSVP here to stay in the loop. Registration will officially open in early Fall. More details below!

~

Learn  about the dying process, after-death body care, and green burial.  Connect with ancient, inner, and collective wisdom around dying and the  grief processes that inevitably accompany it. Experience the art and  songs, knowledge and skills of members of our community who regularly  tend the hearth of death and dying.

SCHEDULE:

• 12:00 - 12:30 Event Opens
• 12:30 - 1:00 Opening Circle
• 1:00 - 5:15 Workshops and Other Activities
• 5:30 - 6:30 Shared Meal (see details below)
• 6:30 - 7:15 Closing Circle
• 7:30 Event Ends

Participants are encouraged to stay for the full event, but are welcome to come and go as needed.

We  will open and close in a circle of communion. In between there will be a  rich array of opportunities to learn, restore, and grow. We will expand  our knowledge and awareness, reflect on our experiences, hold grief  close, sing, dance, write, and create. We will share a meal, honor our  ancestors, listen, open, celebrate, and breathe, all in the embrace of  the Blue Ridge Mountains.

SHARED MEAL:  All participants are asked  to bring a few vegetables or other contributions for a soup and/or  salad, which will be prepared by our in-house chef (more details will be  sent out prior to the event).

This event is a shared endeavor among Woven Roots Collective, Hospice of the Piedmont, and Panorama Natural Burial.

As space is limited, advance registration is required for this event.

Admission price is by donation to cover event costs and support the Woven Roots Collective and Hospice of the Piedmont.
