QUEERING DEATH is a community-led learning group, which is part of the 3rd ASSEMBLIES quarter at NAVEL, that cultivates ideas for making death rituals more meaningful, equitable, and sustainable. Together we explore the intersection of end-of-life and privilege, and come into closer relationship to end-of-life practices, and therefore life itself.

ASSEMBLIES is NAVEL’s platform for collaborative research, discussion and creation. Community-led, these learning groups form around a theme, practice, project or experiment over a seasonal period.

Ari Simon(-ofsky) runs Inner & Outer Engagement, a practice of community engagement, facilitation, and coaching. Ari uses questions, activities, feedback, and analysis to explore what’s going on within ourselves, our organization, our community, or our city. We then create goals, actions, targets, and accountability strategies to better engage others, know ourselves, and gain personal, organizational, civic, and policy successes. Ari currently leads stakeholder engagement for the City of West Hollywood’s Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP), provides facilitation and strategic engagement to a range of organizations, coaches one-on-one clients, and leads a bimonthly men’s consciousness-raising group. Through writing, drawing, map-making, workshops, and more, Ari loves to explore topics such as civic engagement, the public realm, loneliness, personal geographies, queerness, and death. Ari resides in Los Angeles and Idyllwild, CA. http://ari.fyi/. IG: @ari_fyi
