On Postponing the Funeral

Posted on February 15, 2017

The family needed the time to organize a big ceremony, but they also needed closure after this shocking event. There’s a shift in our souls that happens when someone we love dies, and for a while we’re in an in-between world [Read more…]

Why Funerals Don’t Make You Sad

Posted on January 17, 2017

A Healing Ritual for Abortion

Posted on September 22, 2016

Our goal in this ritual was not only to change the experience for this child, this couple, and those who care about and support them, but also to help build new healing patterns in the cultural field, so that all those who have, or will, go through [Read more…]

A Letter from a Death Doula to a Client

Posted on June 7, 2016

We aren’t wired to be able to meet mortality without the support and love of our community. The challenge is that connecting with that community support can be harder to do under the pressure of a serious illness or impending death [Read more…]

Convening a Healers’ Council

Posted on May 26, 2016

The Community Healers’ Council is a radical experiment in community healing. It’s a ritual practice group for learning the skills of shapeshifting and restoration. It’s a transformational ceremony on behalf of our whole community.  [Read more…]

Posted on April 26, 2016
