"Birth and Death are the most singular events we experience-and the contemplation of death, as of birth, should be a thing of beauty, not ignobility"  Jacob Javits  

It is my honor to hold space around the often difficult and taboo topic of death and dying. With over 30 years of medical experience as a Registered Nurse, I continue to witness firsthand, from both patients and medical professionals, the denial, disconnect and fearful approach to death in our culture.  

With a desire to create a positive change and with the loving intention to hold space for patients, in a way that honors death as a personal experience for each individual, in 2022 I became certified as a Death Doula through "Going with Grace".

The most profound shift I have experienced personally since completing this training, is a deeper sense of curiosity around the unknown and significantly less fear in general, which enables me to experience more inner peace and ease in life. It is with this sense of curiosity and ability to hold a sacred container, that I am honored to provide space within community to explore feelings, experiences and fears around death and dying.

As we process through some of our fears in community, the hope is that with the knowledge and acceptance that we, as well as everyone we love will one day die, we may live our lives with a greater sense of inner peace, presence and maybe even start to view death as a natural and beautiful process.

This topic may seem daunting to some. Exploration into what keeps you living in fear may seem intense. If you are curious about this topic, trust into that curiosity. Together, as a community, we will create a sacred container to explore our personal  experiences, our emotions and our fears in relation to death and dying. This workshop will be deeply nourishing, supportive, liberating and healing.

The workshop will include gentle movement, journal writing, talking circle, guided meditation and restorative yoga.

Please bring a journal and a pen and any significant items to place on the alter in honoring of loved ones who have passed as well as honoring your own personal journey. Tea and light snack provided..

Women's circles are an ancient practice that have been valued as sacred and vital throughout time. Sister Circles are created when women gather in sacred space with intentions to support one another through the lens of love, compassion, and the Divine feminine.

 Join Michelle and your fellow sisters for a sacred talking circle, gentle Yoga, journaling, free flow movement, and more. Women's circles are co-created -come be a part of the magic! The healing medicine of circle begins to unfold as the energy of the women commit to showing up.  This intentional work is intuitive, valuable, and organic. Each circle flows naturally with the lessons and healing that is intuited to be explored.

Come with curiosity and a willingness to be seen and supported by the feminine.

Snacks and tea provided.

Bring a yoga mat and a journal.

Dress in layers for comfort. Think free, playful, sensual.
