Re-membering through Ritual January 16th, 2025 | 6-7:30 pm (MST)
Candi K. Cann kicks off the 2025 season of Roots & Roads’ series Ritual and Remembrance by highlighting various rituals and practices surrounding grief around the world. From food rituals to embodied practices honoring the dead, Cann argues that all losses should be honored, and points to grief practices as a successful example of reinserting the dead into memory construction. Utilizing continuing bonds theory, Cann argues that it is important to continue our relationship with the dead, re-membering them through ritual, and allowing the dead to find a place in life after loss.
