Death Work: For the Living
Supporting individuals interested in learning about what it means to befriend death, and in the process taking intentional steps towards planning for their end of life.
“ Unless you embrace death, you cannot live, if you try to avoid death, all that will happen to you is that you will end up avoiding life. ”
- Sadhguru
Death Coaching: Planning for the end, living for the now.
Many of us have learned to avoid death, live in fear of it, or even idolize it. As a result many of us have cultivated unhealthy relationships with death and find ourselves unprepared when deaths touch comes. This process is about learning to grapple with death not only to prepare for the event of a sudden death, but to learn to truly live our most full lives while we’re here. Through the lens of death, we will take a loving look at our lives and ask ourselves- If I were to die am I living the life I truly want?

Death with Friends
A time to gather and have a facilitated talk about death, with a fun, and heartfelt approach. These nights are designed to normalize conversations about death, to help us take some practical steps towards preparing for our deaths, and to ultimately inspire us to live our lives with intention. These gatherings can be done with family members, friends, or even strangers. These gatherings are great for birthday parties!
Workshops
In our American “death avoidant” culture we are quick to shy away from conversations around death. Together, I believe we can cultivate safe spaces that invite communities to process death in healthy ways in order to cultivate more understanding, compassion, and love for ourselves and others. These workshops respect the diverse needs of the community recognizing the sensitivity of the topic for many. We focus on death education and planning, which are important topics for people of all life stages. Where can these workshops be held? Places of worship, assisted living facilities, hospitals, and even businesses looking to empower their employees. Reach out for more info!
