Death, grief & embodied remembrance
Sacred Mortality is a living archive where loss, plants and ritual are studied through slow scholarship, divination, and personal reflection.

Our intention is not to explain death, but to witness it — to mark transitions, observe change, and offer gentle solace for those embracing what’s gained through loss. It is an invitation to witness and think alongside death, land, and grief without pressure to arrive at answers.

Founder
Alysha Suryah (she/they) founded this project in 2022 as an exploration to an enduring question: how do I live in conscious relationship with loss? Drawing from cultural study, thanatology, ethnobotany, and digital archiving, this practice approaches grief as a witness. Alysha’s research bridges documentation and devotion, treating ritual, herbalism, and reflection as parallel modes of inquiry.
