Self Altar Workshop

Portland, Oregon friends! So very excited to share this offering with you in August. Join me at @memento.mori.cafe on Sunday, August 10th at 3pm for a Self Altar workshop exploring our mortality and most sacred possessions and earthly delights that we would want to display for our loved ones when our time comes to shed this mortal coil. Come share a space with others who are curious and interested in contemplating what would speak to others and create a space of comfort and presence in the wake of our physical absence after death. What to expect: we will discuss altars, […]

Fear of Death

Virtual Event

Thanatophobia is the fear of death. It can involve fear of the dying process (often a fear of pain or discomfort), fear of the afterlife (or lack thereof), fear of being forgotten, fear that life is meaningless, and fear of missing out! This month we will be talking about our fears around our own deaths, how we manage them, and how we don't! Queer Death Salon is a community space for all 2SLGBTQIA+ people to come together to discuss death, dying and grief. It is a facilitated drop-in discussion space, with the purpose of building connection, skill, and resources for […]

Event Series “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 […]

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 […]
