Indebtedness
Here at the Meatriarchy we spend a lot of time wondering about our relationship to animals, food, life, and the art of killing. We believe that it is not enough to kill "efficiently" and "process" the animal well. Instead, we explore how we can weave our lives to the mysteries of generosity, reciprocity, relationality, and humility. We attempt to be students of our gratitude, our joys, our indebtedness, and our griefs.
These are workshops for those yearning for a more magickal, spirited, and mysterious approach to animal slaughter and processing.
We work to harvest these animals with grace, compassion, sorrow, and love. To give thanks for their lives and the lives of their ancestors. To respect the enormous gifts they give by learning how to tend to them in fullness and in beauty. And to learn how to nourish and sustain the health of their families.
We teach full hoof-to-table and hide tanning classes, but they extend far beyond the reache of most conventional approaches to butchering. As trained death doulas, we offer a space that is rooted tending to the threshold of death, so that we might be more prepared to tend to human death as well.
