THE W.E.E. WORKSHOP SCOOPIn Sickness And In Health
To This and The Other Place
With Lara El
At the best of times most of us have no idea what we are doing and barely keep the ship afloat.
But what happens when life gives you lemons on top of floating or sinking ships? Do you really make lemonade?
Mixed metaphors aside, there is a truth here that Susan Sontag described in 1978: “Everyone who is born holds dual citizenship, in the kingdom of the well and in the kingdom of the sick.
Although we all prefer to use the good passport, sooner or later each of us is obliged, at least for a spell, to identify ourselves as citizens of that other place.”
Come and explore what the hell that might actually mean for you.
A light and heavy look at illness and confronting mortality.
We don’t have answers, but we have each other.
