Seanan Fong

During his fellowship year Seanan created the SF Public Chapel, a place to pause for everyone. In our increasingly secular society, we don’t have clear, common places to turn in times of heartache or loss or celebration – which leaves our communities fragmented and individuals lonely. As a response to this need, the SF Public Chapel is a place where anyone can come to mourn, celebrate, and otherwise honor the human experience in a shared container. Today, the SF Public Chapel is a pop-up space in public parks providing a set-up for reflection and ritual, as well as facilitated events for structured contemplation. Seanan imagines a world where people in every neighborhood can celebrate, mourn, and honor their human journey together, no matter who they are or what they believe.
