What grief are you bringing today? How do you make meaning after loss? This interactive open-mic style session welcomes all participants to share how grief looks, feels, and expresses itself in each individual's life. Alive Inside is a program for anyone impacted by the prison system (formerly incarcerated, lawyers, family members, policy makers, etc) to engage in the thought provoking, perspective shifting, and deeply creative exploration of grief and loss. This session is modeled after a program originating inside San Quentin, California, Marion Correctional Institution, Ohio, and with the Ohio Innocence Project. Alive Inside uniquely blends music, poetry, and storytelling to accompany session participants throughout a creative conversation on grief, loss, and exploring our shared mortality, guided by a team informed from years of facilitating spaces around grief and community healing inside prisons and in collaboration with the Ohio Innocence Project.
