Intervision - every time we understand, we die a little
Details
One moment. A last breath and life has seized to be. This is how we understand death from a modern medical perspective. However there are ancient traditions all over the world where there are two deaths. Two burials. One physical and one social.
Arnold van Gennep refers to this as the liminal phase.
In this phase of the ritual, the corpse, the living, and the souls of the dead are in an ambiguous and dangerous relationship. The corpse rots and, over time, loses its mortal appearance and becomes an object of dread. Eventually, all that is ‘wet’ (flesh) becomes ‘dry’ (bones). In the final stages of the rite, the corpse, amidst great celebration, is moved to a more permanent place of keeping; that is, the dead are moved irreversibly from the world of the living to join the souls of the dead: they have become ancestors.

In this meetup we want to explore how we can let go. Before we start anew. How we leave behind the eggshell to take an opportunity to fly.
