DREAM WITH ME

With a background in live performance design, I approach collaboration with care for space, atmosphere, and how experiences are felt in the body.

I'm always interested in creating work rooted in grief, ritual, and art. My projects have lived in spaces such as Know Other Festival, Tea at Shiloh, and Scribble, where I've created immersive ceremonies, facilitated community circles, and designed environments for collective reflection.

Ways we might work together:

• Living Funeral Ceremonies
• Community rituals
• Workshops & speaking
• Festivals & retreats
• Art collaborations

Or something entirely new.

reflections

  • "Sitting next to the flowing river, Kaitlyn opened and held space for two big anticipated losses I was facing, and helped me map them to the web of deep generational grief I carry from my past. I can honestly say that I have been able to dance with and move through both experiences with a profound sense of connection to myself in a way I wouldn’t have been able to do without her help. Her work is embodied, gentle, witchy, and heart-opening." -A.T.

  • "My experience with Kaitlyn’s living funeral ceremony was really special and magical for multiple reasons. I was just recovering from a brutal divorce in which I lost my partner, our home, and shared business and was having a lot of difficulty finding reasons to keep going. But during the ceremony, when she guides you into letting go of your physical body, something quickly changed in me and I felt myself fighting to stay. I had tears streaming down my face pretty much the entire time and was able to process a lot of feelings during the ceremony. I highly recommend this for people that are struggling and want to reconnect with their reason for living. I sure did and I’m grateful for that!" -C.R.

  • “To be witnessed in my grief was even more powerful than I imagined. It meant a lot to me to feel like my complex emotions and feelings were validated and acknowledged by someone. Kaitlyn is excellent at holding space, I felt held and safe. She made me feel like what I was feeling in the moment was ok and there was no need to change anything or try to “fix it”. Instead, Kaitlyn gave me permission to allow my complex grief to be what it was. And that simple act greatly reduced the intensity of what I was feeling.” -K.R.
