THEIR BODY BECAME (an offering)

Description

Artists veronique d'entremont and Laur Lewis Neal offer a ceremonial ritual of healing that centers queer and trans bodies. In a queering of the Catholic “ex novoto” tradition, where symbols of body parts can be used as offerings that evoke gratitude or desire for healing, Laur Lewis Neal will lead participants in a ritual, accessible and open to all, that centers queer and trans bodies. Participants will be guided through a practice of letting go; offering up parts of themselves that no longer serve them so that healing can enter the new space left behind. This ritual acknowledges the transformative act of relinquishing ownership, infusing generosity and gratitude into the objects, identities or traumas we choose to release. We will sit on mats on the ground for the half-hour ritual, so please let us know in advance if you require different physical accommodations. 10-15 participants will be spaced six feet apart in this outdoor environment. Please bring paper and pen for the writing aspects of the ritual.
