Queer Death Salon is a virtual community space for all 2SLGBTQIA+ people to come together to discuss death, dying and grief. It is a facilitated drop-in discussion space, with the purpose of building connection, skill, and resources for 2SLGBTQIA+ people navigating end of life in our personal lives and in our communities.
Join Elena Potter of Violet Hour Flowers, in a land-based point of view on time, place, and memory. Participants will be invited into a series of practices intended to foster reflection and observation, including journal prompts with optional sharing, and sensory/noticing practice with a plant companion.
Participants are encouraged to bring a plant or flower (a potted plant, a flower cut from your or a friend’s garden, a wild plant or plant part collected at a local park). An on-screen option will be provided. Participants may also wish to have a notebook and pen for journal prompts.
Elena Potter is a queer, Jewish, farmer femme of Celtic Isles and German heritage, living in the Humber River watershed and at the shores of Lake Ontario. She is a farmer-florist, land worker, community weaver, and artist. She values farming because working with land, with vegetables and flowers, helps create a pathway between the land itself and the people who eat and enjoy the crops.
