Death Cafe- Middle TN

04/06/2024

Stage theory is a little outdated because grief isn’t linear, but this is a pretty cool and public act of grief education.

Apple Music releases five playlists and quotes from Taylor Swift to promote Swift's 11th album, "Tortured Poets Department."

If the ground is too wet for outside today, we’ll have the cafe inside in our front room. You will still need to bring chairs if needed, as we only have three chairs. If inside versus outside affects your mask status, please bring one to wear but still join us!

We can’t wait to see you!

🕳New Class Alert🕳 Starting September 26, join us for Making Art About Death: A Six-Week Live, Online Zoom Class with Artist and Educator Jill Littlewood.

Tickets and Infos via www.morbidanatomy.org - or via the link in our bio! Look for the Classes section in the drop down menu.

Art is a conversation, with yourself and others. Since death can be hard to talk about, making art is a way to move through, understand, and express what is happening in and around you when you are confronted with death or thinking about your life’s journey.

Much of the world’s art expresses hopes and fears about death and possible afterlives: from pyramids to gravestones, in paintings and movies, with poetry and memoirs - and so much more - we celebrate those who die and imagine our own passing.

In this class we will use specific art forms to “talk” about death. It is my hope that something will inspire you now and other ideas will linger for when they may come alive in the future.
