Acts of Collective Remembrance.
Gathering our stories to preserve, honour, and remember.
When someone dies, the memories we hold of them don’t have to stay with us in isolation. Acts of Collective Remembrance is a space created to share, honour, and weave individual memories into a growing community archive.
Whether you want to speak about someone you loved, contribute to our shared tapestry, or simply sit in quiet presence and listen, you are deeply welcome here.
Guiding Prompts: If you are unsure where to start, simple guiding questions will be supplied in advance to help unlock your memories and stories.
A Safe, Welcoming Space: Tears, laughter, silence, and nostalgia are all given equal room. Everything shared in the circle remains confidential.
Living Archive: With your consent, stories and contributions will be preserved as part of a collective archive—ensuring your loved one’s memory continues to live on within a wider community.
How to Prepare & What to Bring
You are invited (but not required) to bring one or two items that evoke the memory of the person you wish to honour:
A photograph or handwritten note
A personal object or piece of clothing
A song or piece of music that reminds you of them
Please Note: Bringing an object or sharing a story is entirely optional. You are equally welcome to come solely to listen and hold space for others.

Nightwashers – About the Facilitators
Erin Lang, Shannon Turner, and Amélie Vrla are a trio offering creative practices that explore death and transitional experiences. Inspired by mythic midnight washerwomen, they gather at the thresholds of life, opening space for loss and grief to be witnessed and potentially transformed through collective making, ritual, sound, and reflection.
