The Portal Between Life and Death and Life with Karine Bell
“I was with him for the last week of his life. And there was the sacredness of that space — the timelessness of that space… This kind of portal.
I felt my grandmother in the room at one point close to the day he actually died and this beautiful sense of accompaniment… I think there's nothing — almost nothing — more beautiful to me about accompanying someone out of this world.”
— Karine Bell
This week’s episode features a conversation between Oceana Sawyer and Karine Bell, creative director and co-dreamer of the communal un/learning and re/imagination space called the Rooted Global Village. Karine Bell speaks of several significant life transformations for her — birth of her daughter, death of her mother and father. In each, she emphasizes the conditions she had to feel safe in her grief and the layers she experienced.
The Possibility of Pleasure miniseries hosted by Oceana Sawyer, explores grief through the senses, which will consider how utilizing any six senses (taste, touch, sight, smell, hearing, imagination) can enhance the metabolization of grief allowing the process of grieving to cultivate wisdom and a greater appreciation of living.
