About Community Death Care Project
The Community Death Care Project is site specific, particularly for communities made vulnerable who are connected to Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside (DTES) and Chinatown areas. The drug-poisoning crisis and housing crisis have added much emotional and physical strain to DTES and Chinatown communities, amplifying ongoing systemic issues from the lack of independent and community-based housing to the disappearance of Indigenous women, girls and Two-Spirit people. Despite the increased frequency of deaths there is still little dignity, agency, and support available around preparing for death and processing loss. This project provides increased meaningful interactions and social connections, information sharing and capacity building around choice, dignity, and autonomy for end of life planning.
DCG x Our Sacred Body: Consent, Power & Dignity in Grief, Death & Dying
SUN APRIL 27
10am-4pm
665A Market Hill, Vancouver BC V5Z 3Z3
A collaborative interactive workshop facilitated by Helena De Felice and Death Conversation Game's creator Angela Fama.
Join Helena and Angela for a nourishing and heart centered exploration of consent, power, and dignity in grief, death, and dying. Grief, death, and power are topics that are often avoided. Death Conversation Game was created to help normalize conversations around death, dying and all that can entail, individually and communally.
Attendees are invited to explore the topics through guided somatic practices, dialogue, and various expressive modalities, including collage and paper tapestry.
HELENA DE FELICE
(she/they) is a certified facilitator of The Wheel of Consent® and has been facilitating Wheel practices since 2016.
In teaching, she weaves in awareness of power, oppression, and trauma from the lineages of Process Work, Deep Democracy, Right Use of Power, and Somatic Abolitionism.
In addition to public online and in person workshops in Europe and Canada, she offers tailored workshops for communities and organisations in skills for navigating embodied consent, power dynamics, and conflict.
Her facilitation is informed by years in the fields of prevention and response to relational/gender based violence, senior leadership for sexual and reproductive rights, teaching holistic peer counseling, holding space for altered states in birth and death, and erotic and entheogenic healing. Helena calls 'home' her ancestral lands in Sweden. She lives most of the year as a settler on the unceded traditional lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, and səlilwətaɬ Nations in Vancouver, Canada.
