How We Might Work Together
This is not a menu. It’s a mycelial web. Here are six ways into the grief ecosystem.
Whether you are dying, grieving, remembering, organizing, or imagining, these offerings are shaped to meet you in the thresholds. I offer presence, story, ritual, and creative companionship.
Let’s begin wherever you are.
Grief & End-of-Life Companioning
For the grieving, the dying, and the ones walking beside them.
I offer one-on-one companionship rooted in reverence, tenderness, and truth for those approaching death, navigating loss, or carrying grief that has no name. This is space to be witnessed. To feel what’s been held in. To not be alone.
Includes:
Death doula vigil, presence and legacy rituals
Grief tending (personal, ecological, ancestral)
Movement grief, burnout, and collapse-aware support
If you’re grieving, preparing to die, or simply don’t know how to carry what you’re carrying, this is for you.
Obituary Commissions
For loved ones, extinct species, former selves, or what was lost but mattered.
I write obituaries as grief rituals, tender, lyrical, and true. They can be read at ceremonies, kept for your altar, or buried in the earth. I’ve written obits for elders, pets, communities, and dreams. If you’re mourning something that deserves remembering, we can honor it together.
Story-Based Collaborations
For collectives, artists, and organizers seeking to co-create around grief, memory, and liberation.
I’ve collaborated on public grief rituals, climate mourning events, diasporic storytelling circles, and grief zines. If your work touches loss, death, or collective memory, and you want a companion to help shape language, ritual, or narrative, I’d love to explore something together.
Workshops & Group Rituals
For communities navigating shared grief, change, or the long work of liberation.
I offer workshops for organizations, spiritual spaces, activist collectives, and diasporic communities. Past workshops have held space for:
Climate grief & ecological loss
Diasporic longing and land disconnection
Burnout, moral injury, and activist grief
Reproductive grief & ethical thresholds
Animal companion memorials & animal-sanctuary grief
Grief for systems, species, and futures
Some workshops are offered publicly. Others are tailored privately. If your group is seeking a sacred space to grieve and imagine together, let’s begin there.
Apothecary & Written Offerings
Zines, guides, and ritual tools to companion your grief.
Through writing, tea, and tangible ritual, I offer tools to accompany you in solitude, ceremony, or reflection.
(Coming soon. In the meantime, visit my Etsy shop to explore what’s already blooming.)
Writing Commissions & Guest Work
I write about grief, death, collapse, memory, liberation, and spiritual longing.
If you’re seeking an essay, reflection, or creative piece for your journal, organization, platform, or collaborative project, I’m available for commissioned writing and guest work. I bring a voice shaped by grief ritual, political care, queer ecology, and ancestral memory.
Don’t know where to start?
You can book a Grief Compass session, a gentle wayfinding conversation to explore what you need. It might lead to a collaboration, a ceremony, a story, or just one deeply needed conversation.
Grief Companioning
Grief Companioning
Grief is hard. It feels like you're wandering in the dark, searching for a way through. I’m here to walk beside you as a compassionate companion, someone who understands how deeply loss can hurt. Whether it’s the death of a loved one, a cherished pet, a major life change, or even the heavy grief that comes with witnessing political or environmental destruction, I offer a safe space for you to feel, process, and heal.
Supporting All Kinds of Grief
Grief is universal, but it looks different for everyone. It can come from anywhere, a person, a relationship, a dream that’s been lost, or the world you once knew. Whatever your loss, I’m here to listen and be with you, without trying to "fix" it. Just to hold space for your grief, whatever form it takes.
A Safe Place to Be Heard
Sometimes what we need most is someone to simply listen, to hear our pain without judgment. I offer that space. In our time together, you can speak your truth, cry, or just sit in silence, whatever you need. I’m here to make sure your grief is acknowledged with care, allowing you to express what’s in your heart freely.
Navigating Life's Big Changes
Life constantly shifts, and with those changes comes grief, whether it’s the end of a relationship, a change in career, or simply the feeling of losing your sense of purpose. I’m here to help you navigate these transitions. Together, we’ll explore what you’re feeling, and I’ll offer support as you move through this season of change. There’s wisdom in your grief, and I’ll help you find it.
Grieving a World in Crisis
There’s a special kind of grief that comes from seeing injustice in the world. The pain of witnessing systemic oppression, environmental devastation, and political corruption can feel overwhelming. I offer space for that grief too. Together, we can mourn what has been lost and explore ways to channel those emotions into meaningful action, seeking hope and healing in the face of struggle.
Finding Healing in the Darkness
Even in the depths of grief, there’s potential for healing. While it may not feel like it right now, this journey through pain can lead to growth, strength, and ultimately, a renewed sense of self. Together, we’ll walk through the shadows, knowing that light can still be found, even if it’s just a small flicker at first.
Interfaith Animal Chaplain
I offer interfaith animal chaplain offerings that honor the spirit and the sacred in loss. For those whose hearts beat in rhythm with the natural world, for those who care deeply about animals, whether cherished companions, animals exploited by humans, or wildlife caught in the crossfire of human "development". I offer a space to sit with that grief, to feel the weight, and to find a path forward.
Compassionate Presence: Grief is a journey, one that each of us walks in our own way. My role is to bear witness to the sacredness of your path, to honor the complexities of your love for all living beings. I offer a compassionate presence and to hold space for the enormity of what you carry. Whether through meditation, prayer, or quiet reflection, I walk with you, and those you mourn, with deep reverence.
Meditation and Spiritual Guidance: For those seeking solace, I offer guided meditations and spiritual practices tailored to your needs. Perhaps you grieve for a beloved animal, or you feel the heaviness of witnessing environmental destruction and the plight of wildlife. My meditations can ground you in this pain, offering stillness and insight. Spiritual guidance is here as well, whether you seek support in coping with loss, finding strength amidst environmental devastation, or nurturing a connection with the more-than-human world.
Navigating Ethical Quandaries: The path of caring for animals, nature, and the planet can be lined with difficult ethical choices. How do we live in this world with compassion, amidst factory farms, habitat loss, and the vast environmental impact of human actions? As your chaplain, I provide guidance through these quandaries, offering support as you navigate questions of animal rights, liberation, and our responsibilities to this earth.
Space for Grieving Activists: For those on the front lines, animal liberation activists, environmental protectors, I offer a sacred space to rest. To grieve. Activism comes with a heavy heart. You carry the stories of factory-farmed animals, the cries of wildlife lost to deforestation, the despair of seeing the earth scarred. I support you as you confront the sorrow of this work, offering practices and rituals that hold your grief, honor your courage, and keep the fire of your compassion alive.
Memorial Planning and Rituals: From simple ceremonies to sacred gestures, I help create meaningful rituals to honor the lives lost, whether it’s an animal companion, the animals whose lives are cut short in factory farms, or the wildlife that disappears under human encroachment. Together, we will craft spaces for healing and remembrance, moments that reflect your deep love for the earth and all its beings.
Join Me on the Path of Healing: If you grieve for animals, for nature, for the devastation wrought by human hands, I invite you to join me. We’ll honor the interconnectedness of all life, giving space for the weight you carry. Together, we find the strength to continue, to care, and to heal.
Workshops and Support Groups
Workshops and Support Groups: Finding Connection and Healing Together
I offer workshops and support groups that bring together grief facilitation, meaningful rituals, and spiritual support. My aim is to help people heal, connect, and regain their sense of empowerment, especially in LGBTQ, POC, and activist communities. In these spaces, grief is honored, and participants are supported as they process emotions and find strength to keep moving forward.
Bereavement and Finding Purpose After Loss
These workshops are here to help you navigate the pain of losing someone close. Together, we’ll explore grief, honor your loved ones, and work through what’s next. We use reflection, guided discussions, and rituals to create a space where you can start to heal, surrounded by others who understand. You’ll find meaning and resilience, even when it feels difficult.
Life Transitions and Grief
Change, whether expected or unexpected, often comes with grief. In these workshops, we approach those changes with support, practical exercises, and mindfulness practices. You’ll learn how to adapt, find new sources of strength, and embrace growth even in the midst of difficult transitions.
Climate Grief and Environmental Loss
In these workshops, we create a space for those mourning the loss of the natural world due to climate change. Together, we honor our connection to nature, process our grief, and build resilience to face environmental challenges.
Loss of Animal Companions or Animal Community Members
Losing an animal companion is incredibly personal. These workshops offer a place to reflect, honor the bond you shared, and find ways to heal after their passing. Apt for individuals or communities healing from their loss of an animal companion, or animal sanctuaries healing from the loss of an animal community member.
Confronting Systemic Injustices
If you’re dealing with the emotional toll of poverty, oppression, or political injustice, these workshops offer space to grieve and find empowerment. We focus on processing emotions and turning grief into action.
Reproductive Loss and Choices
These workshops provide a safe and compassionate space to talk about reproductive loss and difficult choices. We honor the complexity of these experiences, offering understanding and community as you work through your grief.
Addressing Activist Burnout
Activists often sacrifice their well-being in the fight for justice. These workshops help you recharge by focusing on self-care and community support, so you can continue your work without burning out.
Loving, Dying, and Letting Go Workshop
This 3-hour workshop,was originally designed by Amy Wright Glenn, founder of the Institute for Birth, Breath, and Death. As an Institute Teacher, I am honored to be able to offer a space to reflect on three big questions: What does it mean to love? What does it mean to die? What does it mean to let go? Through deep reflection, you’ll confront fears, work through hurt, and move forward with greater courage. Workshop is also adapted specifically for Activist and Movement-Building Community.
Our Land, Our Grief, Our Place: A Workshop for the Diaspora
This three-day workshop is designed for those in the diaspora who are dealing with displacement and colonial legacies. We’ll work through feelings of grief and connection using somatic and embodied practices, helping you reconnect with both your ancestral homeland and the land you live on now.
Join Us in the Journey
If you’re looking for support, a way to connect with others, or a space to turn grief into action, we invite you to join one of our workshops. Support groups are coming soon. Together, we’ll navigate grief and resilience with compassion and courage. In this community, you’ll find the strength to heal and speak your truth.
For organizations interested in personalized workshops, book a Grief Compass session with me to discuss how we can tailor something to meet your needs.
