THE SACRED ART OF BODY CARE AFTER DEATH

A deeply meaningful and intimate way to honor our kin after death and feel empowered in the process.

This experience is a loving way to honor the life and body of our transitioned ones while receiving the gifts that arise.

Together, we will make space for education, empowerment, ritual, ceremony and celebration. You will learn, practical, legal, energetic, spiritual and emotional tools for the art of body care in death for home & place-based celebrations.

This workshop also offers a reweaving of death practices and perceptions, offers healing & invites grief to be expressed and witnessed however it shows up. Bring your open hearts, presence, curiosity and a notebook. All feelings that may arise will be held with great tenderness and care.

❋ A Supportive Space

Our events prioritize comfort, safety, and respect—so you can show up as you are and fully engage in the process.

Reconnect with your body and mind as you escape the noise of everyday life.
