This is an invitation to turn toward it with reverence, curiosity and playfulness.
This does not only open sorrow.
This can also awaken joy, awe, gratitude, laughter and wonder.
Memento Mori gather to rediscover what matters most:
love, our Earth, the simple miracle of being alive...
this moment.
Memento Mori is a community, a practice, a journey.
Memento Mori means remember you must die. Wisdom traditions throughout history, from Buddhists to Stoics, have known that by opening up to our own mortality, and that of those around us, we can live according to a deeper truth and authenticity. Death can bring clarity to life.
We gather to explore what it means to be alive in the face of death. Our work is shaped by deep time, shared ritual, sincere conversation, creativity, playfulness and relationship with land and community. All feelings are welcome here.
We welcome connection – please get in touch if you'd like to sign up to news about our events, contribute, or want to share an idea.

Bring seeds you have gathered from your garden (or use some of ours) to create effigies to mark the turning of the seasons at Equinox. We will meditate on life and death, beginnings and endings, and creating balance, while we form seed figures that will come to life again next spring. Afterwards, join us for a Tea Dance to celebrate moving our bodies while we are alive! Refreshments included at Effigy playshop.
Tickets to be released soon.
