Who

What

Many of us have been raised in cultures that interact with death combatively. If our socially reinforced habit is to pour energy into fighting and forestalling death it's very easy to feel lost, defeated and resourceless when its inevitability becomes unavoidable.


Humans lived closely and well with death, everywhere there were humans, for most of our history on this planet. Finding a way back into community with death can feel tremendously stabalizing and empowering. 


We feel sure we can live that way again. We are hopeful we can teach each other how. We would love for you to join us, trying.


Series Overview:


This series will provide skills, tools and connections you can use to support your beloveds and/or yourself in dying. At the end of this series you will be in a position to stand confidently with your community as you navigate this universal passage.
