  • Holiday Grief Lounge

    Holiday Grief Lounge – Evening

    Zoom Cornelius, NC

    The Holiday Grief Lounge is a quiet space to gather with other grievers so that we can prepare for, take a break from or recover from whatever the Christmas season throws our way. You will be among a community of people who know what you're going through and won't expect you to mask your feelings or act cheery. While this space is intended to be a place to chill quietly, if the mood should strike you there will be the opportunity to chat as well. There will also be prompts available for sharing during this time or for journaling. Feel […]

  • 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

    “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 […]

    Decomposition Isn’t A Dirty Word – Let’s Talk About Green Burial

    Online

    Join us for a guided conversation on how burial in the United States drifted from our ancestral roots - and how green burial and conservation cemeteries can reconnect us with what’s natural, human, and quite literally in our DNA. Science doesn't lie... our bodies are designed to decompose and return to the earth, but green burial is limited in the US. Hosted by Penny Waugh of The Death Network, with panel guests Ed Bixby of The Global Green Burial Alliance and Jamie Phillips of Spirit Sanctuary Conservation Cemetery. Together, we’ll unpack how we got here and why restoring time-honored burial […]

    “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 […]
