SUMMARY:Grief Gardening
DESCRIPTION:Queer Death Salon is a virtual community space for all 2SLGBTQIA+ people to come together to discuss death\, dying and grief. It is a facilitated drop-in discussion space\, with the purpose of building connection\, skill\, and resources for 2SLGBTQIA+ people navigating end of life in our personal lives and in our communities. \n\n\n\nIn times of grief\, many people find that a connection to land\, earth\, and the tending of life can help carry us through. It is well established that a connection to nature\, no matter how small\, helps improve our experiences of depression\, anxiety\, and sense of well-being. \n\n\n\nPulling from their their personal experiences\, Eli will lead participants in a discussion about; \n\n\n\n\nthe history of Grief Gardening through various cultural perspectives\n\n\n\ngardening as a tool for emotional processing and providing a sense of control and purpose\n\n\n\ncreating sites for remembrance\n\n\n\ntending to a relationship with nature to encourage a sense of hope and renewal\n\n\n\n\nHe will also support participants with ideas about how to get started or expand on our grief gardens. \n\n\n\nEli (they/he) is a gardener and former landscaper\, wetlands restorationist and wildlife biologist currently living on Ohlone land in Oakland. Mutual aid\, covid realism\, disability justice\, queerness and art as well as gardening all help them with the little and big sources of grief that life brings us.
