SUMMARY:"It's Complicated" Support Group
DESCRIPTION:A monthly peer-led Zoom group for people who had a strained relationship with someone who’s died. It can be tough to be in a group with other folks who were close with their parent\, sibling\, grandparent\, partner\, co-parent\, friend\, etc. As much as I like for there to be a range of experiences represented in grief groups\, so that we can hear diverse perspectives\, sometimes it is nice to be with people who “get it.” When addiction\, mental health challenges\, conflict\, estrangement\, abuse\, etc. were a part of the picture\, it can affect the grief journey in unique ways. This is a space for us.

SUMMARY:Monthly Wailing Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:This is a monthly offering\, happening on the second Tuesday of every month. This offering is designed to support somatically moving our shared and personal grief.\nWe begin to build our container through brief sharing and connecting and then move into movement\, vocalizing\, wailing\, praying\, and drumming. We are building community through acknowledging and exploring the shared human experience of grief and loss.

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.

SUMMARY:Childfree By Choice & Grieving
DESCRIPTION:It’s not a given that everyone who is childfree by choice is 100%\, unabashedly content with the decision. While we may be set in our choice\, there can still be grief there. I know there is for me. It’s a both-and/two truths situation. Many of us make this choice for a lot of unfortunate\, depressing\, and/or systemic reasons\, and I created this space where we can be with our truths\, and hurts\, around it all. \nOur monthly peer-led Zoom group is intended to be a space for people who have chosen not to have children. It is not intended to be a child-loss support group or infertility support group\, although if you have prior experience with infertility and/or pregnancy loss and have since decided to not have children (meaning you are now childfree by choice) feel free to join and see if it’s a good fit.
