Bony Tony and Stephen Jenkinson Discuss The Future of Now and Speaking With Children About Death

A very special episode of The Afterlife With Bony Tony.

After a short hiatus, Bony Tony is back with more of what you love. Death, taxes and grief...right!? Yer killin' me! Yer killin' me!!

Bony Tony has been hard at work establishing a better understanding of how this generation of humans cope with their mortality. Although 2020 was especially challenging for many humans, Bony was there for you and even hosted a Halloween Experience to help our friends work through the some of the anxiety, pain and anguish that the year provided.

Although 2021 has been a small step forward in the global condition, we are still experiencing what Stephen Jenkinson would refer to as "plague times". The man is what few can carry as a title of "grief walker". An individual dedicated to the realities and impending fate of all humans, that is so easily pushed aside or considered taboo to talk about. AKA Bony Tony's favorite topic.

Stephen is a worker, author, storyteller, culture activist, and founder of Orphan Wisdom, a teaching house for skills of deep living and making human culture that are mandatory in endangered, endangering times.

Bony was fortunate to catch Mr. Jenkinson at his teaching house Orphan Wisdom in Ontario for a cup of tea and to wax the word realistic with the man who speaks Bony Tony's language of death, dying and grief processing.

The Afterlife Experience

Phoenix artists present interactive installations and performances in honor of the dead 

Local Phoenix artists and creatives have come together to produce an interactive art experience that celebrates, explores, and honors the ideas of death, grief, and remembrance. The Afterlife Experience premieres to the public on Halloween night, Saturday, October 31, 2020 at the Grand Arthaus in the Grand Avenue Historic Arts District of downtown Phoenix. A collaborative project, local Phoenix artists have created an interactive art experience that will guide visitors through levels of the Afterlife where they’ll virtually interact with a variety of installations. An experiential journey of art, acknowledgment, and acceptance, the Afterlife invites guests to move between the threshold of celebration and ceremony, between laughter and reflection.  

The artists of the Afterlife Experience have created a transformational one-night only live, interactive, and live steamed Halloween event that will span the spectrum of expectations. From taking a picture with a skeleton puppet to exploring sensory stimulation, confronting death, immersing yourself into a room of virtual emotions, or participating in a healing ceremony. 

Produced by Imaginology Founder and Chief Imaginologist, Nathaniel Jack Greene, the experience is an evolution of the Afterlife with Bony Tony, a puppet character who has been hosting Halloween shows in the valley for decades. 

“The year has been strenuous on humanity to say the least. The demand for the program seems oriented to a feeling of being grateful, celebrating those we lost this year, and healing through suffering we have experienced throughout 2020. Bony Tony will still greet guests as the host of the Afterlife, but the program intention has evolved to greater purpose.” - Nathaniel Jack Greene

Visitors to the Afterlife Experience will also BECOME a part of the show, as each installation or level of the Afterlife, is live stream broadcasted on social media. This creates an alternative “quarantined” Afterlife experience for those watching from home.
