Expanding on something said in the previous Nine Keys episode, The Death Worker's Antenna, through storytelling and poetry, Narinder explains the Great Mother's world that is being built through people who listen to her direction. A world where work is balanced with play and rest. Service that comes through devotion to her and not the exploitative ways we are used to working.

If you are a hospice nurse, a caregiver, a death worker, a healer, a guide, a seer, this episode is for you.

From bespoke shrouds, to grief memes, to death art, to conceptual art spaces that double as death education spaces, creativity weaves infinitely through death work.

In this episode, Narinder talks with artist and death worker Meghan Johnson about the facet of The Death Healer's Hexagon that is Death Work as Art Form and Medium. Death work and art go together seamlessly. Both artists and death workers reflect onto us our choices, our agreements, and identities. Both artists and death workers can break up status quos, can reshape realities, and can reorient us towards soulfulness.

Death work invites so much creativity into it, and art invites our death work in return.

Meghan Allynn Johnson (she/her) is an artist and death worker specializing in connecting community members to death and grief resources and sharing in the tenderness of life's endings through creative workshops and artworks that she calls 'living portals.'

She is the co-founder of the Madison Death Collective, an online resource for grievers, the dying, and the dead, and her artwork has been exhibited in New York, NY; Johannesburg, South Africa; St. Louis, MO; Chicago, IL; and Madison, WI.

You're invited to press your ear up against the studio door and listen in on this lyrical conversation between Narinder and her friend and colleague Melissa Word as they sing of the beauty and the hard realness of Death Work as Culture Midwifery. The conversation grows tendrils that touch on our collective grief, our body's intelligence, the power of keeping prosperity flowing in the eddies of community, and the threshold job that is death work.

Melissa is an Atlanta-based artist, dancer, death doula and grief coach. As a facilitator, she helps people heal their creative lives and explore their relationship to their bodies and mortality. 

Her background as a professional dancer has shapeshifted through the years into creating experiences for others to get more in touch with their own way of moving and expressing. As a creative grief coach, she leads a seasonal online workshop for grief processing through quilting and hand-sewing, reimagining healing spaces as ones where our bodies, hands, and intuitive impulses guide the way. 

She is a graduate of Narinder's Nine Keys Death Midwifery Apprenticeship.
