Life, Death, Dying & Embodiment: A Sacred Gathering

A Death doula and an Embodiment Coach come together to create a circle unlike any other—a space where the wisdom of the body meets the depth of the dying process. With fierce passion and devotion to their crafts, they invite you into an experience that honors death as an integral part of life, just as worthy of care, presence, and soul work as the journey of living itself.

This is an offering of reverence, curiosity, and deep listening—to ourselves, to each other, and to the mystery that awaits us all.

This program invites you to step into the raw, transformative space of death and dying—not as something to fear, but as a portal to deeper presence, love, and connection.

Together, we will explore the stories we carry around death, unravel cultural conditioning, and discover embodied ways to meet grief, loss, and transition.

Through conversation, movement, and deep listening, we will learn how to sit with discomfort, hold space for others in their grief, and explore alternative approaches to funerals and memorials.

This is an opportunity to move from fear to possibility, from avoidance to reverence, and to reimagine what it means to live fully while embracing the inevitable.

This workshop is for people

who have never thought about what happens at the end of life
who have had fear around even thinking about it
who have wanted to talk about it but didn’t know who to talk to
who want to face this topic so that you can live a fuller life
who want to know what options you have in all stages of end of life
who suffer from anxiety or a fear of dying and want to be supported by two fully qualified professionals to move through it
