Using modalities such as Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)\, channeling and hypnosis\, she guides sensitive people to heal old patterns and traumas\, and embark on a new chapter of spiritual evolution. Esné is a twice-certified Master in traditional and modern Usui Reiki\, and practices shamanic energy work\, in combination with Master Plant dieta retreats in the Peruvian Amazon. Esné has ongoing training with the Amazonian jungle ‘Master Plants’ within the context of the Shipibo shamanic tradition. She facilitates Ayahuasca retreats within Peru and abroad. Additionally\, she is deepening her work with the subconscious at the Institute of Interpersonal Hypnotherapy\, licensed by the Department of Education in the US\, as she is a recent graduate as a Certified Transpersonal Hypnotherapist program. Follow her for more events and service offerings: @Natural.Esne on Instagram\, Facebook \nAdrianna Prosser\, aka Lady Death Doula\, Death Doula and Grief Educator\nYou might have seen Adrianna on CTV’s The Social as a special guest talking about the Death Positive Movement\, or heard her on CBC Radio One across the country talking about grief and bereavement\, or in Canadian Business Magazine as a death industry disruptor\, or liked one of her TikTok videos sharing her journey as a Death Doula. Adrianna’s brother Andrew died by suicide in 2010 and his death catapulted her life into death work and mental health advocacy: she became a suicide awareness trainer and interventionist. She toured her one-woman show Everything But the Cat… for 10 years about suicide loss and bereavement\, utilizing her storytelling background to create inclusive space to open a dialogue around death and dying. In 2019 Adrianna’s coworker Roberta asked if she wanted to go to Disneyland and South Korea to celebrate getting off chemo for stage four breast cancer; Roberta had a year to live and wanted a companion to get through her bucketlist and of course Adrianna said yes and embraced being a Death Doula for her friend. Holding liminal space and being comfortable in the discomfort has led Adrianna to become a hospice volunteer and grief counselor. She is currently in a fast-tracked Bachelor’s of Social Work to become a grief therapist to complement all the training she has done as a death worker. Her practice is anti-oppressive\, radically feminist\, and magically authentic to ensure she centers her companions where they are at on their care journey. Join the death positive conversation with her: @LadyDeathDoula on TikTok\, Instagram\, SubStack \nJames Johnson\, Reiki practitioner\nJames is an Intuitive Energy Practitioner specializing in traditional Reiki.  His deep commitment to energy healing modalities provides clients with an inclusive and supportive environment for healing.  James enables individuals to explore their own self healing process; fostering personal growth and a clearer sense of identity.  Through his sessions clients are encouraged to discover their unique paths to wellbeing and empowerment. James has been a Reiki practitioner for over 20 years. He is excited to be a part of the Inner Arts Collective hive to support and share healing journeys while he continues to study other modalities. Currently he hosts the Inner Arts’ Reiki Share every last Tuesday of the month. It has been profound experiences and new insights supporting people with grief that have inspired him to continue helping people through their grieving process. @reiki_with_james

SUMMARY:Grief Beyond Graves: Queer Mourning & Collective Healing
DESCRIPTION:Less Fear | More Fierce: Queer End-of-Life Planning\nLGBTQ+ Centric Online Discussion Series\n2nd Wednesdays | 1-2:30 pm ET | | January – June 2026 \nWhat would collective healing look like if we made space for every kind of queer loss—not just the ones with headstones? \nGrief isn’t only about death. Queer and trans people often carry grief from non-death losses—family estrangement\, identity erasure\, loss of community\, housing\, or health. \nThis session explores disenfranchised grief and collective mourning\, offering space to name\, witness\, and begin to heal these often-invisible losses. \nWe’ll also touch on grief in response to social and political violence\, and how we can create rituals for communal mourning and resilience.

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:"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: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:Meditations on Death and Dying
DESCRIPTION:Meditations on Death and Dying is a monthly series of explorations and discussions devoted to honest\, thoughtful engagement with death\, dying\, and grief as essential parts of the human experience. Meeting on the last Saturday of each month\, this series offers a welcoming\, reflective space to approach mortality not as something morbid or distant\, but as something we live alongside every day. \nEach gathering features a guest with a unique relationship to death through lived experience\, professional work\, spiritual inquiry\, or philosophical reflection. Together\, we explore the physical\, emotional\, spiritual\, metaphysical\, and philosophical dimensions of death\, as well as the quieter ways loss shapes our lives\, relationships\, and communities. \nRather than offering doctrine or conclusions\, Meditations on Death and Dying invites shared inquiry. \nInaugural Gathering \nOur inaugural guest is a funeral director\, Marine\, and war veteran\, offering a deeply grounded perspective shaped by both service and loss. \nThrough his work as a funeral director\, he is regularly confronted with the fundamental reality of human existence: that we move from spirited\, living beings into organic matter that eventually returns to the earth. \nAlongside this physical truth\, he also bears witness to the emotional realities of death\, particularly the experiences of those left behind and the ways our culture makes space\, or fails to make space\, for grief. \nThis first exploration moves between the natural\, practical\, philosophical\, and even supernatural\, honoring both the tangible realities of the body and the invisible forces of grief\, memory\, and meaning. \nWhile the conversation may be intimate\, honest\, and at times raw\, it is guided by compassion and care. The intention is not to sensationalize death\, but to create a more loving and accessible way of relating to death as a fact of life and to grief as an ever-present\, often unseen force many of us are carrying. \nThis gathering is free and open to all.\nSpace is limited\, and RSVP is requested to ensure adequate seating. \nWhether you are actively grieving\, quietly curious\, philosophically inclined\, or simply seeking a deeper relationship with life\, you are warmly welcome.

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:"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: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 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!
