House of Know - Haunted Houses & Medieval Grief
Advertisement
It’s time for another pulse-pounding, edge-of-your-seat, high-fun-ated HOUSE OF KNOW!
Stairways to Heaven and Doorways to Hell
Windows to keep out witches, blue doors to ward off evil, escalators to Heaven, and vestibules in Hell — if there is such a thing as life after death, how do we get there and what does it look like? This talk will explore how we situate the supernatural in our built environment, where architecture and engineering cross over to the other side.
But wait! There’s more…
Exploring Themes of Grief Through Medieval Art
This conversation is based on a death expert talk that Lauren Seeley did with The Met Cloisters as a Met partner. The theme is Death & Grief around medieval art, which Lauren chose and curated herself. The topic centers around adolescent innocence and mortality portrayed in the three works which can also be viewed in person at The Met Cloisters.
And just who ARE these people?!
Lauren Seeley is a Death & Grief Doula and a Creative Grief Workshop facilitator in the NYC area. She works with both animals and humans in the end-of-life and funeral space and is a death educator as well as a spiritual practitioner using creativity, art, ritual, ceremony, and Reiki as forms of healing in bereavement and loss. She is the facilitator of two mortality-based book clubs in NYC: Silent Book Club of Death NYC and Ahhsweetdeath Book Club, as well as head of NYC chapter of Bibliophiles Research Center. She partners with historical institutions such as The Met Cloisters, Green-Wood Cemetery, and Morbid Anatomy for her events.
