The Art of Burial is a small group workshop developed and facilitated by Carrie Ahern. Each participant imagines their "fantasy burial" and then has it enacted on them. Open to anyone, no movement experience is required. The workshops happen every couple of months at different locations.

I will ask participants to imagine their own burial. Imagine it as if you are alive. What does your body want? This burial is not about any real scenario but is open to your imagination.  What does your burial feel like, look like, sound like, smell like? What is it’s environment, it’s setting? After writing their burial wishes down each person will state their wishes out loud. Finally, I will lead the other participants in the room to “enact” each person’s burial for them while they themselves are completely passive.

Previous workshops have been held in NYC, Berkeley and Oakland, CA; Seattle WA and Portland, OR
