During mourning, the living mourners and the deceased constitute a special group, situated between the world of the living and the world of the dead.

—Arnold van Gennep

Join educators, activists, and community-based theater artists, Jan Cohen-Cruz and Kevin Bott for insight on ritual structures and rites of passage.

Explore ritual through Kevin’s work with Ritual4Return, a program which develops homecoming rites of passage as a regular cultural practice in the United States for human beings returning home after incarceration. Jan’s insights about Arnold van Gennep’s three-part framework of rites of passage, incorporation of ritual, and their book, Performing Emancipatory Rites of Passage, which traces rituals from birth to death. Their book includes a chapter that shares the voices of INELDA team members in a roundtable about death and dying.

Our time together will also include a “mini-roundtable” conversation with the guests, and our moderators, educators Shelby Kirillin and Nicole Heidbreder about ritual incorporation at end-of-life.
