Once upon a time, a scientist and an artist came together to open magical, wondrous portals into the underworld, and now they want you to come explore the labyrinth along with them!

In this episode of "Midnight Water: Dialogues in the Labyrinth", Katherine MacLean and Eileen Hall are joined by Rebekah Dawn, a mother, mental health professional, death medicine weaver, artist, and steward of a magical, mystical garden labyrinth in southern Illinois. Rebekah was initiated into the death space as she cared for her dying child years ago, and has since walked with many individuals and families as they navigate the shadow spaces of death and grief. In this conversation, we explore the necessity of safe, communal spaces for expressing grief, the creation of beauty in the midst of tragedy, and the function of movement and dance during grief. Make sure to listen all the way to the end to find out what Rebekah reveals about the key to walking the labyrinth.
