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

    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 […]

    “It’s Complicated” Support Group

    Virtual Event

    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 […]

    TalkDeath Book Club | Achille Mbembe’s Necropolitics

    Join us to discuss Achille Mbembe's Necropolitics with each other via Zoom on Saturday, December 13th at 2pm ET/ 1pm CT/ 12pm MT/ 11am PT Join TalkDeath's Book Club as we discuss Achille Mbembe's Necropolitics. “In Necropolitics Achille Mbembe, a leader in the new wave of francophone critical theory, theorizes the genealogy of the contemporary world, a world plagued by ever-increasing inequality, militarization, enmity, and terror as well as by a resurgence of racist, fascist, and nationalist forces determined to exclude and kill. He outlines how democracy has begun to embrace its dark side---what he calls its 'nocturnal body'---which is […]

    “It’s Complicated” – Support Group

    Childfree By Choice & Grieving

    Virtual Event

    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. Our 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 […]

    When Grief Shows Up in the Body

    Intro to the Gates of Grief

    Grab your lunch or favorite tea and join us for a session with Rebecca Churt, Founder of The Grievery. ​This 50-minute introductory session offers a guided walk through a framework that expands grief far beyond death — into the realms of identity, longing, lost opportunities, and the quiet heartache we carry for a fractured world. ​We’ll take a concise tour of Francis Weller’s Gates of Grief (from The Wild Edge of Sorrow) and explore how grief — when acknowledged rather than avoided — becomes a vital life skill: helping us stay connected to ourselves and what matters most. ​This session […]

    Life After Loss- Addressing Grief Aftermath: Coping, Meaning Making, and Healing In the Weeks, Months, and Years After Loss

    Join us at the Center for Applied Research Solutions to create and engage in rich learning that focuses on grief work that we often miss: the long-term experiences, processes, and impacts of grief for young people, and how we as providers, systems leaders, and culture builders can skill ourselves up to attend to the aftermath with as much attention as the acute. Thanks to the generous support of the New York Life Foundation (New York Life Insurance Company) and the National Alliance for Children's Grief (NACG), we are offering this event to help you build the skills to navigate the […]
