We're All Gonna Die: Nourishing Life and Preparing for Death

The emotional, psychological and spiritual work for living deeply, aging wisely, dying well and showing up for the world.

A healthy life includes death. When we live with the awareness of our approaching death and recognize that like everything in nature, we die, we have the opportunity to transform our lives and the lives of those around us. Our fear of, and our disconnect from dying and death, keep us from truly being fully alive. 

As a stand-alone course and as a prerequisite for an upcoming certification program for death doulas, we will begin the work of preparing for our dying time and our death.

In a culture bereft of real elders, it is time to lean into the ways and responsibilities that this time in the world is asking of us. How are we needed and how will we show up in these coming times?

We will die and we don’t know when. The world may be dying.

How and whether we use this information will shape the course of our lives, our relationships and our attunement to the sacred. It will shape who we are as a community and how we care for each other now and when we are dying.
