This episode's guest Camille Sapara Barton, says that "grief is often a visceral and embodied experience that impacts us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Despite increasing conversation about grief in the Global North, there are few spaces to publicly express grief, or practices we can rely upon to help us move through it. As a result, many of us can feel isolated when grieving because there is little space for our emotions to be welcomed and our loved ones often don’t know how to support us in meaningful ways."
In their work as a social imagineer, artist and somatic practitioner interested in co-creating networks of care and liveable futures, Camille helps individuals and organizations build tools to befriend their grief and support themselves to move through challenging emotions. Their debut book, Tending Grief: Embodied Rituals for Holding Our Sorrow and Growing Cultures of Care in Community was published in April 2024 by North Atlantic Books, and they join AirGo to talk with the guys about the transformative power that comes from moving through grief toward integration.
