Hello! I’m Kaitlyn, a queer Jewish grief worker and visual artist based in Los Angeles. (a)Wake is my container at the intersection of grief, death, and art: a space to gather, remember, and transform. This space was born from years of grief, ritual, and community care, and holds the full spectrum of my work.

At the heart of (a)Wake is the Living Funeral Ceremony, a communal ritual that invites participants to die before they die, to let go of what no longer serves, and to cross the threshold into new life.
