SUMMARY:A Living Funeral Ceremony & Death Salon
DESCRIPTION:​Join us as Spring returns for a Living Funeral Ceremony followed by a Death Salon. \n​​A Living Funeral Ceremony is an immersive meditative experience that encourages participants to face their own mortality. Through engaging in ritual and guidance through a death visualization\, participants are invited to “die before you die\, to live while you’re alive.” \n​​This ceremonial experience provides a supportive space to confront fears around death and impermanence\, while also fostering a deeper connection to life’s fragility and beauty. Often compared to the experience of ego death\, this ritual leaves many with a renewed sense of purpose and a profound appreciation for the present moment.

SUMMARY:Empowered Choices™ Willow Workshop® Series
DESCRIPTION:Empowered Choices™ is a three-part Willow Workshop® series designed to help you navigate the emotional\, practical\, and legal aspects of end-of-life planning with courage\, clarity\, and compassion. Each session weaves together guided reflection\, writing\, and conversation to help you articulate your values\, express your wishes\, and communicate them with the people who matter most. \nMarch 17 Part 1: Exploring Health and Personal Care invites you to look inward—examining how your past experiences with illness\, death\, and grief shape your sense of dignity\, comfort\, and quality of life.

Step by step\, you’ll move from reflection to action\, creating plans rooted in love\, integrity\, and intentional living. \nIn this Series\, You Will:\n-Explore how your experiences\, beliefs\, and values shape your end-of-life wishes.\n-Clarify what dignity\, comfort\, and quality of life mean to you in times of illness or incapacity.\n-Learn about the key legal and non-legal documents that ensure your medical\, personal\, and financial wishes are respected.\n-Identify and prepare the people you trust to make decisions and carry out your affairs with clarity and care.\n-Engage in meaningful conversations that transform planning into connection\, easing emotional and practical burdens for everyone involved.\n-Move from reflection to action—leaving with practical next steps and a sense of peace\, knowing your plans align with your deepest values.

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.

SUMMARY:The Art of Grief Tending — Foundational Workshop
DESCRIPTION: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. \nIn 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. \nThrough grief literacy teaching\, gentle somatic practices\, guided reflection\, and shared inquiry\, participants will explore: \n• What grief is (and isn’t)\, including common myths and cultural misunderstandings\n• How grief lives in the body and nervous system\n• Simple\, practical ways to support oneself through grief\n• The importance of witnessing grief\, ritual\, and relational support in healthy grieving \nThis workshop is suitable for anyone living with grief\, as well as caregivers\, community workers\, clinicians\, and those wanting to build grief literacy in their lives or work. \nNo prior experience is needed. You are welcome exactly as you are. \nTo attend\, please register on the event website.

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:The Good Death Book Club Experience FREE 12-Month Death and Dying Course
DESCRIPTION: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:\n“I wish I had this knowledge when I was caring for my loved one.”\nOr:\n“The Doulagivers training is helping me more than I can say.” \nThe truth is:\nWe will all have a caregiving story. \nLet’s make sure yours is one filled with support\, empowerment\, and peace. \nThat’s why I created The GOOD DEATH BOOK CLUB Experience: Death and Dying Course—a free\, live\, 12-month educational journey through my bestselling book The Good Death: A Guide for Supporting Your Loved One Through the End of Life. \nWhat It Is:\nEach month\, we explore one chapter of The Good Death together. \nYou’ll receive:\n-A live End of life teaching course with me\, Suzanne B. O’Brien\, RN\n-A guided workbook and downloadable companion guide\n-A group discussion and experiential exercise\n-A full 12 month Death and Dying Course for free \nWho It’s For: \n-Current and future caregivers ( all of us )\n-Death Doulas\, aspiring Death Doulas\, medical professionals\n-Individuals seeking grief healing and emotional support\n-Anyone who wants spiritual inspiration and empowerment around death\, aging\, and life itself \nWhy It Matters:\nDeath is 100% guaranteed—and yet\, our modern culture has stripped away the education and sacredness that used to surround it. \nThis lack of awareness is contributing to unnecessary fear\, trauma\, and prolonged suffering and grief. \nBut death is not the enemy. \nIt is our greatest teacher about how to truly live. \nWhen we return death to its place as a natural\, sacred transition\, we begin to reclaim peace\, presence\, and purpose in our lives and communities TODAY! \nWhat You Can Do:\nJoin The Experience and Share with Your Friends!

SUMMARY:Telling Stories: A Writing Workshop with author and death doula Darnell Lamont Walker
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER (AND GET MORE INFORMATION) HERE: \nhttps://www.panoramaburial.com/event-details-registration/telling-stories-a-writing-workshop \nTIME AND LOCATION \nMar 07\, 2026\, 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM\nPanorama Natural Burial\, 3550 Reas Ford Ln\, Earlysville\, VA 22936 \nABOUT THE EVENT \nWhat does it mean to tell our stories while we are still here and to be truly witnessed by another? \nIn this reflective workshop led by death doula and author Darnell Lamont Walker (Never Can Say Goodbye: The Life of a Death Doula and the Art of a Peaceful End)\, participants are invited to slow down and explore the power of storytelling as an act of presence\, remembrance\, and care. \nSet within the quiet\, natural landscape of Panorama Natural Burial\, this gathering will focus on three interconnected practices: telling our own stories\, learning how to bear witness to the stories of others\, and beginning to write in ways that feel honest\, accessible\, and alive. \nTogether\, we will explore: \nWhy our stories matter. Especially the unfinished\, imperfect\, and tender ones \nWhat it means to witness another person without trying to fix\, rush\, or reshape their truth \nHow storytelling can be a spiritual practice\, a form of legacy work\, and a way to soften our relationship with mortality \nGentle\, guided prompts to help participants begin writing their own stories\, regardless of experience \nThis workshop is not about polished writing or performance. It is about presence. About listening. About naming what we carry and offering it a place to land. \nWe will intentionally create a safe\, compassionate space for sharing. Participants will never be pressured to read aloud\, respond\, or disclose more than they wish. Confidentiality\, care\, and mutual respect will be held as shared agreements throughout our time together. \nPlease bring a pen and paper or a journal you feel comfortable writing in. All writing will happen by hand\, as a way to slow the body\, quiet the mind\, and stay connected to the moment. \nNo prior writing experience is required\, only a willingness to show up\, reflect\, and be in conversation with yourself and others. \nThis program is open to anyone curious about legacy\, memory\, grief\, meaning\, or the quiet courage it takes to tell the truth of our lives. \nThis event is part of an ongoing series of Death Fest programs\, co-hosted by Woven Roots Collective and Hospice of the Piedmont. \nAnd if you’d like to continue the fun\, join Darnell at 7pm at New Dominion Bookshop on the Downtown Mall for a reading and book talk of his new book Never Can Say Goodbye. \n+++ \nPlease note this event will take place in the barn at Panorama Natural Burial. Please dress for the weather!

SUMMARY:Support for our Grieving Community - Guided Discussion & Educational Workshop
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThis 90-minute interactive\, donation-based grief workshop explores grief as a life skill – one that helps us adapt to unwanted change\, understand what we need to cope\, and remain open to compassion for others during times of distress and communal grief. \nThis workshop offers grief education\, guided sharing\, community connection\, and a grounding practice to support living well and caring for others during times of communal grief. The Death Network was founded with community\, curiosity\, and connection at its core\, and this workshop with grief coaches Wendy Kessler and Claudia Faerber reflects that intention — creating space to be honest\, present\, and human together. \nThis workshop is for those seeking helpful\, practical ways to understand and navigate everyday grief as it shows up in daily life. Whether your grief feels clear or hard to name\, you are welcome here — to learn\, reflect\, and be in community with others who are also finding their way. \nCreated for those looking for helpful ways to navigate everyday grief as it weaves through daily life\, this space welcomes both the named and unnamed losses we carry. Come to learn\, reflect\, and sit in community with others walking a similar path. \nThis workshop is offered by donation to keep it accessible to all. Your support helps us continue creating community spaces like this. Venmo: @thedeathnetwork\nThanks so much!

SUMMARY:Book Club Author Kelly Cervantes discusses her book The Luckiest with Befriending Death
DESCRIPTION:The Luckiest by Kelly Cervantes (with the author) on Wednesday February 25th 5:00 – 6:30 PM (PT) 8-9:30 (ET)\nWe are so looking forward to the return of Kelly who spoke to our book club last year with Normal Broken\, describing her journey raising and losing her daughter to a neurodegenerative disorder and epilepsy. \nHere’s a description of The Luckiest:\nWhen moving from a conservative Midwestern suburb to New York City to pursue an acting career\, Kelly Cervantes never could have imagined what life had in store for her—or how much she would fundamentally change along the way. The Luckiest is her emotional journey through the pain of unrealized dreams\, navigating her husband’s Broadway spotlight\, fighting for her child’s life\, finding purpose after loss\, and rebuilding her life and marriage. \nInspired by author and poet Maggie Smith’s quote\, “We are all nesting dolls\, carrying the earlier iterations of ourselves inside\,” Kelly shares the many layers that have shaped who she is today. But how many of those layers were shaped through the control she desperately sought versus the luck she struggled to accept? Are we lucky if we escape life with soft skin and minimal layers? Or are we lucky to have the battle scars that show a life of survival—of fullness and meaning? \nThe Luckiest is a tale of motherhood in all its heartbreak\, joy\, fits\, and false starts. It follows Kelly’s wildly unpredictable journey and the role luck has played in her life\, both good and bad. It is one woman’s beautiful\, complicated\, and ongoing quest for self-discovery.

SUMMARY:Dead Parents Club
DESCRIPTION:Losing a parent changes you. It’s weird\, it’s heavy\, it’s lonely. Dead Parents Club is a grief circle for anyone navigating life after the loss of a parent (or parents). This is a space where the whole of you and your grief are welcome\, however it shows up. \nWe begin with a short grounding to connect with your body and breath\, and then the circle is open. The rest of the 90 minutes are yours: to share\, to listen\, to cry\, to sit in silence. Whatever you need. There’s no pressure to speak\, and no need to perform your grief in any particular way. This space is about showing up as you are. Whether your loss is new or decades old\, whether you’re feeling raw\, numb\, angry\, relieved\, or all of it at once\, you’re welcome here. Though if your grief is still very fresh and raw\, know that this isn’t a support group in the clinical sense. \nRSVP required\, spots are limited.
