Community of Practice

The Practices of Composting and Hospicing Community is a global community of practice for people and organizations developing tools, resources, and practices fostering better project and organization endings. It is inspired by the Berkana Two Loops Model and grew out of Stewarding Loss, a UK field-building initiative that was spurred by the belief that endings needed to be designed as processes rather than simply endured as painful experiences.

The community comprises a Slack community along with virtual gatherings featuring an international slate of guest speakers from across civil society — from museums, to cemeteries, universities, and even theaters.

This community is self-funded (for now!), but grew out of seed funding from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation’s Emerging Futures Initiative. Please reach out if you might be able to financially support this work!
