About this Event
Life Among the Stones is back!
Burial sites are home to rich biodiversity. Local herbalist and botanical expert Amber Westfall of The Wild Garden is our guide to the hidden ecology of these sacred spaces. Slow down, look closely, and discover the natural beauty growing among the gravestones. These walks are a gentle, meaningful way to connect with the land, the past, and the present as we remember our beloved dead.
We'll be joined by members of En Terre Outaouais for this first educational adventure of 2026. Our kindred natural burial advocacy group, they are working to bring this option to residents of Quebec.
Free to attend and all are welcome. There is a moderate amount of walking. Please RSVP at [email protected] for meet-up location and further details (and to donate!) Donations for Amber are gratefully accepted. Please note there is no rain date. With the exception of extreme weather (lightning!) this event is rain-or-shine.
Join our summer field trips and meet the rich plant life found in local cemeteries.
