Guest Speaker, Ashlynn Rickord Werner - “The Architecture of Belonging”
The Architecture of Belonging explores the complicated history of mental hospitals and developmental institutions, from reformers who believed they were creating more humane spaces to the segregation and loss of autonomy that often followed. Drawing on disability history, religion, and Unitarian Universalist values, Ashlynn Rickord Werner asks what it really means to build communities where everyone is not simply cared for, but truly belongs.
Ashlynn Rickord Werner has built her career in the deathcare profession, previously serving as Director of four historic cemeteries in Providence, Rhode Island and now working in customer success for a leading deathcare software company. In that role, she helps operators streamline their work so they can focus on what matters most: serving grieving families and easing the pain of loss. Beyond her professional work, Ashlynn is deeply engaged in cemetery history and tourism, exploring how we honor the dead through culture and storytelling. She holds a Master of Theological Studies from Harvard Divinity School, where she studied religious life in mental hospitals and state schools for people with disabilities.
