A Place for Keening Today ?

Pushing up the Daisies is a pioneering Scotland-wide charity. Our aim is for everyone in Scotland to know their practical options and legal rights immediately after someone dies and to be able to spend time with them in the place of their choice if that is their wish. Since our inception in 2016, we have offered an advice line and well-received, inspiring and informative education to hospice staff, end-of-life companions, celebrants and the general public.The charity’s Daisy Chain of volunteers around Scotland helps people consider all their options, including the option to keep someone in the privacy and comfort of home after their last breath. More information about the charity is available on the website pushingupthedaisies.org.uk.The charity provides practical assistance to people wishing to take charge of someone after their last breath in the Moray area (afterthelastbreath.scot). This service will become a model for other regions.Sign up on the website to keep in touch with the growing network of people across Scotland interested in this work.

Pushing Up The Daisies

Can these ancient traditional practices have a current relevance in assisting modern day society in dealing with the fragmentation of loss?

Join us for our next online network gathering: A Place for Keening Today?We are delighted that Madge Bray is joining us to share her explorations of keening in the Scots tradition , the sounds of pibroch lament , and the use of sound and vibration in holding a container for visceral grief.In Scots tradition, Highland Clan chiefs would have had their “Keening Women“ (mnathan-tuirim) whose role was to attend to the grieving and the uncried tears, and the transition of the soul.Can these ancient traditional practices, have a current relevance in assisting modern day society in dealing with the fragmentation of loss? Can ritual serve to ease transition from life to death and offer meaning and context in the face of overwhelming grief? Join us to discuss.ALL WELCOMEMore information at <a href="https://pushingupthedaisies.org.uk" title="https://pushingupthedaisies.org.uk" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">pushingupthedaisies.org.uk</a>Learn more about Madge's work on her<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUyZnHg8YD8&amp;list=PLN8vAF4WdRiIHZ3dS8u0Be0TpH3ZU4vfo" title="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUyZnHg8YD8&amp;list=PLN8vAF4WdRiIHZ3dS8u0Be0TpH3ZU4vfo" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> youtube channel</a> where she has a playlist on Keening and the Sounds of Mourning.For more information contact admin@pushingupthedaisies.org.ukWe will send the Zoom link the day before the event.
