    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 […]

    If I Die This Year: A Workshop for Living with Clarity, Courage, and Care

    Not a bucket list. An honest pause. What would matter if you believed you might die this year? Most of us live as if time is endless—and quietly feel the cost of that assumption. If I Die This Year is a guided workshop for people who want to live more honestly, meaningfully, and aligned with what matters most—without waiting for a crisis to force the question. You don’t need to believe you’ll die this year. You only need to be willing to ask: If I did… how would I want to live until then? Through reflection, gentle guidance, and optional […]

  • 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 […]
