Dolls and Death

12-1pm Sunday 6th August, Kangaroo Hotel

​

​

A discussion on the link between dolls, grief, loss and the afterlife. A look at how dolls have been involved in spirituality, magic and the paranormal.

​

Dolls have long been used as a means of dealing with grief and loss. In Victorian times, mourning dolls were common place as a means to honour and remember children who had passed due to a high mortality rate.

​

Now dolls are still used as a means of healing therapy, as well as aiding in the grieving process in the loss of a child. There is a spiritual link between a doll and the spirit world and this is an issue we will be exploring in this interactive workshop.
