    Gone But Still in My Google Calendar: a discussion on ENM & grief

    The heart wants what the heart wants. So does grief. Both are messy, primal, and difficult to reason with. Join psychotherapist and death educator Lori Zaspel of Moonvine Grief and Catherine of Death Project Manager for Gone But Still in My Google Calendar: a discussion on polyamory / ENM and grief. All griefs welcome - whether from death, or living losses like breakups, change, the heartaches that come from being alive. Lori is a psychotherapist, grief activist, death educator, and content creator who was a founding member of the Philly Death Doula Collective, is a current member of Salt Trails […]

    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 […]

    Sick & Tired: A Virtual Discussion on Chronic Illness and Grief

    Sick and tired of being sick and tired? Us too. Join death doula Jamie Thrower, Lisa Pahl of The Death Deck, and Catherine of Death Project Manager for a discussion on chronic illness and grief. This is the second event in our Sick and Tired series. This time, we’re talking about caregiving while sick: what does it mean to give and receive care?

We'll open with a grounding exercise, then create space […]

    Why California Needs a Conservation Cemetery

    Online

    🌿 Our Bodies Are Designed to Return to the Earth 🌿 Join our Zoom to learn what a Conservation Cemetery is… permanently protected natural land where burials restore habitat. We'll take a deep dive into how a conservation cemetery differs from modern burial practices, and how it compares to green burial. Here in California, we’re a community that thrives outdoors! From beaches to deserts to mountains, yet when it comes to our final rest, our options are far removed from the natural rhythms that reflect our lifestyle. Modern burial practices - concrete vaults, metal caskets, and toxic embalming chemicals - […]

    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 […]
