When growing up in a culture that instills individualistic healing modalities in us as children, what then can restorying grief tending as a communal praxis do for caring for our individual and collective selves? We centre this crucial question in this month’s episode with Camille Sapara Barton, exploring key pathways in inspiring cultural shifts for grief work in times of sociopolitical divides and ecological degradation. Camille is a writer, artist and somatic practitioner, dedicated to creating networks of care and liveable futures. Rooted in Black feminism, ecology and harm reduction, Camille uses creativity, alongside embodied practices, to create culture change in fields ranging from psychedelic assisted therapy to arts education. Based in Amsterdam, Camille designed and directed Ecologies of Transformation (2021 - 2023), a masters programme exploring socially engaged art making with a focus on creating change through the body into the world. They curate events and offer consultancy combining trauma informed practice, experiential learning and their studies in political science. Camille’s debut book "Tending Grief: Embodied Rituals for Holding Our Sorrow and Growing Cultures of Care in Community", published last month by North Atlantic Books, offers deeper insight into their work and informs the themes of this conversation.
