End-of-Embodiment Support
can begin from a variety of points,
your current hopes and concerns
navigating the medical system
preparing for the inner journey ahead
tending to legacies you wish to gift others
rituals to mark turning points to support you along the way
My role is,
to advocate for your autonomy, dignity, and empowerment
to research, and coordinate family/community supports
to provide comfort and safety in expressing what matters most to you
Rituals
speak the language of the soul and chart the paths that have led to the present moment and the potentials that await in the future. Through music, gesture, color, offerings, and the elements, nourishment is applied.
Insights and felt connections help the body-mind articulate their presence in connection with those around them.
Funeral and Memorial Services
are sacred spaces where we pause to host the life and essential nature of a divine human in the most basic and profound ways their life touched others. Collective morning arises for what is loved and will be grieved, helping the hearts of those who remain. Through stories and artifacts, the smallest of details along with the grand events are reminisced alongside their transgressions and heart desires.
A good ceremony captures the human and spiritual values of the person who lived them.
A series of rituals and ceremonies may be your preference: directly after the death, a smaller inner circle gathering, invites in what requires immediate grounding and private expression, before opening to a larger community commemoration. Six months or a year later, there may be another ceremony to mark your person’s passage into the field of ancestors.
Lastly, a good service lights the way for the person who is new to being dead, helping them get to where they are going.
