My guest on the show today is Stephen Jenkinson, and he challenged me to think a little differently about what I believed to be true about death, dying, grief, and living life. I hope this interview does the same for you.
Stephen is the author of 6 books, a storyteller, musician, culture activist, a ceremonialist, and a grief literacy advocate with many years of experience. In this episode, he shares some of his wisdom with us.
In our society, death is often shrouded in silence and denial. But what if we could change the narrative and create a language that allows us to speak openly about dying? Acknowledging the importance of open and honest conversations surrounding this inevitable part of life is crucial.
Stephen shares with the listeners how he has helped people to have honest conversations about death and dying.
Stephen is an advocate for embracing the realities of death and engaging in honest conversations with those nearing the end of their lives. Through his unique approach, Stephen challenges the prevailing death-phobic culture and seeks to foster a deeper understanding and acceptance of mortality.
He also shares with the listeners a bit about the work he does on stage with "A Night of Grief and Mystery” which is a unique experience that defies genres and captivates the soul. He has discovered that what they offer is not theater but a profound ceremony. This is not a morbid endeavor, but a two-hour show filled with storytelling, advocacy, and thought-provoking messages. They delve into the urgent dilemmas of our time, reminding each listener that the future lies within our grasp.
