    The Good Death Book Club Experience FREE 12-Month Death and Dying Course

    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: “I wish I had this knowledge when I was caring for my loved one.” Or: “The Doulagivers training is helping me more than I can say.” The truth is: We will all have a caregiving story. Let’s make sure yours is one filled with support, empowerment, and peace. That’s why I created The GOOD DEATH BOOK CLUB Experience: Death and Dying Course—a […]

    Support for our Grieving Community – Guided Discussion & Educational Workshop

    South Park Yoga & Wellness 2985 Beech St., San Diego, CA, United States

    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. This 90-minute interactive, donation-based grief workshop explores grief as a life skill - one that helps us adapt to unwanted change, understand what we […]

    The Art of Grief Tending — Foundational Workshop

    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. In 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. Through grief literacy teaching, gentle somatic practices, guided reflection, and shared inquiry, participants […]
