Upcoming Workshops
This hour long contemplative workshop examines the meaning of compassion from various angles and invites attendees to discuss. The workshop includes music and meditation to invite the participant to transition from processing with the mind to perceiving with the heart.
In this hour long workshop participants explore how to cope, grow and be strengthened from the inevitable loss and grief we encounter in life.
This workshop + demo is an introduction to a variety holistic modalities that doula Lindsey Warren uses with her self-care
clients as well as end of life clients. Learn about how she uses her frame drum, tuning forks, singing bowl and other modalities to create calm relaxation and relieve pain and anxiety. Explore your options in this experiential workshop and come away with the beginnings of your own self-care plan.
What’s the difference between palliative care and hospice? How do you qualify to use Medical Aid in Dying (Act 39)? What does an end of life doula do? Is that the same as a death midwife or death doula? What supports are in my area for aging in place?

Learn about all of this and more in this hour long workshop that includes lots of time for Q&A.
This 4 to 5 hour in-person workshop begins with cross-cultural history of shrouding, followed by an introduction to green burial and practical tips for those interested in shrouding for home funerals and green burials.
