Facilitator: Jason Gots

Description: In an ever-accelerating culture, grieving is an act of resistance. It’s a slow, personal, intuitive process that doesn’t respect timetables or social boundaries. Mourning our losses is an active, creative process and often a quiet form of activism. In this workshop, author and podcaster Jason Gots will share experiences following the loss of a best friend in 1995 and his sister in 2015, opening a broader discussion with the audience about making space for grief in our lives.
