SUMMARY:The Good Death Book Club Experience FREE 12-Month Death and Dying Course
DESCRIPTION:According to a recent AARP study\, there are over 52 million caregivers in the United States right now—and 70% of them say they are overwhelmed. Every single day\, I receive messages from current and former caregivers who say:\n“I wish I had this knowledge when I was caring for my loved one.”\nOr:\n“The Doulagivers training is helping me more than I can say.” \nThe truth is:\nWe will all have a caregiving story. \nLet’s make sure yours is one filled with support\, empowerment\, and peace. \nThat’s why I created The GOOD DEATH BOOK CLUB Experience: Death and Dying Course—a free\, live\, 12-month educational journey through my bestselling book The Good Death: A Guide for Supporting Your Loved One Through the End of Life. \nWhat It Is:\nEach month\, we explore one chapter of The Good Death together. \nYou’ll receive:\n-A live End of life teaching course with me\, Suzanne B. O’Brien\, RN\n-A guided workbook and downloadable companion guide\n-A group discussion and experiential exercise\n-A full 12 month Death and Dying Course for free \nWho It’s For: \n-Current and future caregivers ( all of us )\n-Death Doulas\, aspiring Death Doulas\, medical professionals\n-Individuals seeking grief healing and emotional support\n-Anyone who wants spiritual inspiration and empowerment around death\, aging\, and life itself \nWhy It Matters:\nDeath is 100% guaranteed—and yet\, our modern culture has stripped away the education and sacredness that used to surround it. \nThis lack of awareness is contributing to unnecessary fear\, trauma\, and prolonged suffering and grief. \nBut death is not the enemy. \nIt is our greatest teacher about how to truly live. \nWhen we return death to its place as a natural\, sacred transition\, we begin to reclaim peace\, presence\, and purpose in our lives and communities TODAY! \nWhat You Can Do:\nJoin The Experience and Share with Your Friends!

SUMMARY:(a)Wake Presents: A Living Funeral Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:​Tickets purchased via Scribble here: https://link.dice.fm/bccde2d392f0 \n​A community offering to give 2025 a good death and step into the new year with intention. Join us for a Living Funeral Ceremony at Scribble. \n​A Living Funeral Ceremony is an immersive meditative experience that encourages participants to face their own mortality. Through engaging in ritual and guidance through a death visualization–contemplating your own memorial as you imagine letting go of your earthly self–participants are invited to “die before you die\, to live while you’re alive.” \n​This ceremonial experience provides a safe and supportive space to confront fears around death and impermanence\, while also fostering a deeper connection to life’s fragility and beauty. Often compared to the experience of ego death\, this ritual leaves many with a renewed sense of purpose and a profound appreciation for the present moment. \n​TIMING \n​Please arrive on time by 2pm\, as the container will close once the ceremony begins to honor the sacred environment we are co-creating. The ritual portion takes up to 90 minutes. After the ceremony is complete\, Kaitlyn will hold space for participants until 4pm. \n​WHAT TO BRING/WEAR \n​A blanket\, yoga mat\, or something to lay on \n​Comfortable\, breathable clothing is recommended \n​PRICING STRUCTURE \n​(a)Wake is part of a movement toward collective care. Please choose the price that suits your current situation. If you are not able to pay any of the listed prices\, please email info@scribblecommunity.com for more information. \n​$22 – Community Supported (for those who need financial access to attend; limited availability)\n​$33 – Base Rate (covers cost of materials + energy exchange)\n​$44 – True Cost (what it actually costs to offer this ceremony)\n​$55+ – Community Sustainer (supports others to attend + helps this work remain sustainable)\n​This ceremony will be facilitated by Kaitlyn Pietras (she/her)\, a queer Jewish grief worker and visual artist based in Los Angeles. She is the creator of (a)Wake\, a ritual container at the intersection of grief\, death\, and art. Her practice is rooted in tending to both personal and collective grief\, connecting with ancestral wisdom\, and creating ritual spaces for the LGBTQIA+ community. Kaitlyn’s work weaves together plant magic\, Jewish mysticism\, and somatic storytelling. \n​She trained directly with Emily Cross of the Steady Waves Center\, who developed this ceremony inspired by living funerals originally held in South Korea. These ceremonies were created to help participants reflect on their lives and reconnect with a sense of meaning and purpose in the face of death.

SUMMARY:Untangling The Tinsel: A Gathering for Grievers
DESCRIPTION:The holidays can leave a lot behind-feelings we didn’t expect\, words we couldn’t find\, emotions that live more in our bodies than our heads.\nThis gathering is an invitation to gently look back at what the season stirred up and sit with whatever is tangled. We’re holding space for relief\, acceptance\, community\, and grace-no fixing\, no pressure. Let’s gently untangle\, one strand at a time.

SUMMARY:The Good Death Book Club Experience FREE 12-Month Death and Dying Course
DESCRIPTION:According to a recent AARP study\, there are over 52 million caregivers in the United States right now—and 70% of them say they are overwhelmed. Every single day\, I receive messages from current and former caregivers who say:\n“I wish I had this knowledge when I was caring for my loved one.”\nOr:\n“The Doulagivers training is helping me more than I can say.” \nThe truth is:\nWe will all have a caregiving story. \nLet’s make sure yours is one filled with support\, empowerment\, and peace. \nThat’s why I created The GOOD DEATH BOOK CLUB Experience: Death and Dying Course—a free\, live\, 12-month educational journey through my bestselling book The Good Death: A Guide for Supporting Your Loved One Through the End of Life. \nWhat It Is:\nEach month\, we explore one chapter of The Good Death together. \nYou’ll receive:\n-A live End of life teaching course with me\, Suzanne B. O’Brien\, RN\n-A guided workbook and downloadable companion guide\n-A group discussion and experiential exercise\n-A full 12 month Death and Dying Course for free \nWho It’s For: \n-Current and future caregivers ( all of us )\n-Death Doulas\, aspiring Death Doulas\, medical professionals\n-Individuals seeking grief healing and emotional support\n-Anyone who wants spiritual inspiration and empowerment around death\, aging\, and life itself \nWhy It Matters:\nDeath is 100% guaranteed—and yet\, our modern culture has stripped away the education and sacredness that used to surround it. \nThis lack of awareness is contributing to unnecessary fear\, trauma\, and prolonged suffering and grief. \nBut death is not the enemy. \nIt is our greatest teacher about how to truly live. \nWhen we return death to its place as a natural\, sacred transition\, we begin to reclaim peace\, presence\, and purpose in our lives and communities TODAY! \nWhat You Can Do:\nJoin The Experience and Share with Your Friends!

SUMMARY:Support for our Grieving Community - Guided Discussion & Educational Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Grief isn’t only something we experience after a death. We grieve relationships\, careers\, dreams\, and a changing sense of safety\, and many of us are also grieving the state of the world itself. These everyday griefs are often unspoken\, yet they shape how we navigate life and care for one another. Many of us are wondering how to stay engaged with what’s happening in the world while also caring for our own mental and emotional well-being. \nThis 90-minute interactive\, donation-based grief workshop explores grief as a life skill – one that helps us adapt to unwanted change\, understand what we need to cope\, and remain open to compassion for others during times of distress and communal grief. \nThis workshop offers grief education\, guided sharing\, community connection\, and a grounding practice to support living well and caring for others during times of communal grief. The Death Network was founded with community\, curiosity\, and connection at its core\, and this workshop with grief coaches Wendy Kessler and Claudia Faerber reflects that intention — creating space to be honest\, present\, and human together. \nThis workshop is for those seeking helpful\, practical ways to understand and navigate everyday grief as it shows up in daily life. Whether your grief feels clear or hard to name\, you are welcome here — to learn\, reflect\, and be in community with others who are also finding their way. \nCreated for those looking for helpful ways to navigate everyday grief as it weaves through daily life\, this space welcomes both the named and unnamed losses we carry. Come to learn\, reflect\, and sit in community with others walking a similar path. \nThis workshop is offered by donation to keep it accessible to all. Your support helps us continue creating community spaces like this. Venmo: @thedeathnetwork\nThanks so much!

SUMMARY:The Art of Grief Tending — Foundational Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The Art of Grief Tending is a 3-hour online experiential workshop for those who wish to understand grief better — their own grief or that of others — and learn ways to meet it with presence\, compassion\, and skill. \nIn a culture that often avoids grief\, pathologizes it\, or urges people to “move on\,” this workshop offers a grounded introduction to grief as a natural\, relational\, and lifelong response to loss — not something to “get over\,” but something to be tended in community and with care. \nThrough grief literacy teaching\, gentle somatic practices\, guided reflection\, and shared inquiry\, participants will explore: \n• What grief is (and isn’t)\, including common myths and cultural misunderstandings\n• How grief lives in the body and nervous system\n• Simple\, practical ways to support oneself through grief\n• The importance of witnessing grief\, ritual\, and relational support in healthy grieving \nThis workshop is suitable for anyone living with grief\, as well as caregivers\, community workers\, clinicians\, and those wanting to build grief literacy in their lives or work. \nNo prior experience is needed. You are welcome exactly as you are. \nTo attend\, please register on the event website.

And an introduction into Emotional Freedom Tapping (EFT) as a grief support tool led by Esné to ground into the space and the meditation. \n2nd hour: 40 minute guided meditation on releasing grief led by Adrianna; as Esné our reiki practitioner moves around the room while people relax and release sounds or movement they feel will help their grief release. \nLast 20 minutes: debrief\, ground with tea or hot chocolate \nemail ladydeathdoula@gmail.com for any questions \nYour facilitators:\nEsné is Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist and Somatic Practitioner who offers grounded\, practical sessions focused on revealing and healing the subconscious self – otherwise known as the ‘shadow’. Using modalities such as Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)\, channeling and hypnosis\, she guides sensitive people to heal old patterns and traumas\, and embark on a new chapter of spiritual evolution. Esné is a twice-certified Master in traditional and modern Usui Reiki\, and practices shamanic energy work\, in combination with Master Plant dieta retreats in the Peruvian Amazon. Esné has ongoing training with the Amazonian jungle ‘Master Plants’ within the context of the Shipibo shamanic tradition. She facilitates Ayahuasca retreats within Peru and abroad. Additionally\, she is deepening her work with the subconscious at the Institute of Interpersonal Hypnotherapy\, licensed by the Department of Education in the US\, as she is a recent graduate as a Certified Transpersonal Hypnotherapist program. Follow her for more events and service offerings: @Natural.Esne on Instagram\, Facebook \nAdrianna Prosser\, aka Lady Death Doula\, Death Doula and Grief Educator\nYou might have seen Adrianna on CTV’s The Social as a special guest talking about the Death Positive Movement\, or heard her on CBC Radio One across the country talking about grief and bereavement\, or in Canadian Business Magazine as a death industry disruptor\, or liked one of her TikTok videos sharing her journey as a Death Doula. Adrianna’s brother Andrew died by suicide in 2010 and his death catipulated her life into death work and mental health advocacy: she became a suicide awareness trainer and interventionist. She toured her one-woman show Everything But the Cat… for 10 years about suicide loss and bereavement\, utilizing her storytelling background to create inclusive space to open a dialogue around death and dying. In 2019 Adrianna’s coworker Roberta asked if she wanted to go to Disneyland and South Korea to celebrate getting off chemo for stage four breast cancer; Roberta had a year to live and wanted a companion to get through her bucketlist and of course Adrianna said yes and embraced being a Death Doula for her friend. Holding liminal space and being comfortable in the discomfort has led Adrianna to become a hospice volunteer and grief counselor. She is currently in a fast-tracked Bachelor’s of Social Work to become a grief therapist to complement all the training she has done as a death worker. Her practice is anti-oppressive\, radically feminist\, and magically authentic to ensure she centers her companions where they are at on their care journey.

She facilitates Ayahuasca retreats within Peru and abroad. Additionally\, she is deepening her work with the subconscious at the Institute of Interpersonal Hypnotherapy\, licensed by the Department of Education in the US\, as she is a recent graduate as a Certified Transpersonal Hypnotherapist program. Follow her for more events and service offerings: @Natural.Esne on Instagram\, Facebook \nAdrianna Prosser\, aka Lady Death Doula\, Death Doula and Grief Educator\nYou might have seen Adrianna on CTV’s The Social as a special guest talking about the Death Positive Movement\, or heard her on CBC Radio One across the country talking about grief and bereavement\, or in Canadian Business Magazine as a death industry disruptor\, or liked one of her TikTok videos sharing her journey as a Death Doula. Adrianna’s brother Andrew died by suicide in 2010 and his death catapulted her life into death work and mental health advocacy: she became a suicide awareness trainer and interventionist. She toured her one-woman show Everything But the Cat… for 10 years about suicide loss and bereavement\, utilizing her storytelling background to create inclusive space to open a dialogue around death and dying. In 2019 Adrianna’s coworker Roberta asked if she wanted to go to Disneyland and South Korea to celebrate getting off chemo for stage four breast cancer; Roberta had a year to live and wanted a companion to get through her bucketlist and of course Adrianna said yes and embraced being a Death Doula for her friend. Holding liminal space and being comfortable in the discomfort has led Adrianna to become a hospice volunteer and grief counselor. She is currently in a fast-tracked Bachelor’s of Social Work to become a grief therapist to complement all the training she has done as a death worker. Her practice is anti-oppressive\, radically feminist\, and magically authentic to ensure she centers her companions where they are at on their care journey. Join the death positive conversation with her: @LadyDeathDoula on TikTok\, Instagram\, SubStack \nJames Johnson\, Reiki practitioner\nJames is an Intuitive Energy Practitioner specializing in traditional Reiki.  His deep commitment to energy healing modalities provides clients with an inclusive and supportive environment for healing.  James enables individuals to explore their own self healing process; fostering personal growth and a clearer sense of identity.  Through his sessions clients are encouraged to discover their unique paths to wellbeing and empowerment. James has been a Reiki practitioner for over 20 years. He is excited to be a part of the Inner Arts Collective hive to support and share healing journeys while he continues to study other modalities. Currently he hosts the Inner Arts’ Reiki Share every last Tuesday of the month. It has been profound experiences and new insights supporting people with grief that have inspired him to continue helping people through their grieving process. @reiki_with_james

SUMMARY:Grief Beyond Graves: Queer Mourning & Collective Healing
DESCRIPTION:Less Fear | More Fierce: Queer End-of-Life Planning\nLGBTQ+ Centric Online Discussion Series\n2nd Wednesdays | 1-2:30 pm ET | | January – June 2026 \nWhat would collective healing look like if we made space for every kind of queer loss—not just the ones with headstones? \nGrief isn’t only about death. Queer and trans people often carry grief from non-death losses—family estrangement\, identity erasure\, loss of community\, housing\, or health. \nThis session explores disenfranchised grief and collective mourning\, offering space to name\, witness\, and begin to heal these often-invisible losses. \nWe’ll also touch on grief in response to social and political violence\, and how we can create rituals for communal mourning and resilience.

SUMMARY:The Good Death Book Club Experience FREE 12-Month Death and Dying Course
DESCRIPTION:According to a recent AARP study\, there are over 52 million caregivers in the United States right now—and 70% of them say they are overwhelmed. Every single day\, I receive messages from current and former caregivers who say:\n“I wish I had this knowledge when I was caring for my loved one.”\nOr:\n“The Doulagivers training is helping me more than I can say.” \nThe truth is:\nWe will all have a caregiving story. \nLet’s make sure yours is one filled with support\, empowerment\, and peace. \nThat’s why I created The GOOD DEATH BOOK CLUB Experience: Death and Dying Course—a free\, live\, 12-month educational journey through my bestselling book The Good Death: A Guide for Supporting Your Loved One Through the End of Life. \nWhat It Is:\nEach month\, we explore one chapter of The Good Death together. \nYou’ll receive:\n-A live End of life teaching course with me\, Suzanne B. O’Brien\, RN\n-A guided workbook and downloadable companion guide\n-A group discussion and experiential exercise\n-A full 12 month Death and Dying Course for free \nWho It’s For: \n-Current and future caregivers ( all of us )\n-Death Doulas\, aspiring Death Doulas\, medical professionals\n-Individuals seeking grief healing and emotional support\n-Anyone who wants spiritual inspiration and empowerment around death\, aging\, and life itself \nWhy It Matters:\nDeath is 100% guaranteed—and yet\, our modern culture has stripped away the education and sacredness that used to surround it. \nThis lack of awareness is contributing to unnecessary fear\, trauma\, and prolonged suffering and grief. \nBut death is not the enemy. \nIt is our greatest teacher about how to truly live. \nWhen we return death to its place as a natural\, sacred transition\, we begin to reclaim peace\, presence\, and purpose in our lives and communities TODAY! \nWhat You Can Do:\nJoin The Experience and Share with Your Friends!
