Ways to be in this work together, not just read about it.
Some of what's below is for the family standing at a bedside. Some is for the practitioner building her practice. Some is for the woman crossing a threshold that isn't death but feels like one. Jump to the room that's yours, or scroll the whole page.

A free community workshop with Morgan Fava, Sacred Transitions™
When someone you love is aging, receives a hard diagnosis, or begins to die, there’s no manual waiting for you. Most of us have never been taught what to expect, what questions to ask, or how to talk about any of it. So we fumble, second-guess ourselves, and quietly assume everyone else knows something we don’t.
You are not supposed to know how to do this. Nobody does, until they’re in it.Free to attend. Bring a friend.
Other Topics Coming:December 1st and more in the New Year
You Are Not Supposed to Know How to Do This
Monday, November 16 · 6:00pm · Hood River Library

Anatomy of Sorrow
September 24 – October 8 · Online · Co-taught with Lauren of La Mort
Anatomy of Sorrow is a three-week immersive series for those who want to meet grief with depth, courage, and reverence.
In our time together, we will:
Map the shifting landscape of grief and the ways it reshapes our inner and outer worlds.
Explore the body of grief—how sorrow lives in our cells, breath, and bones, and how we can tend to it.
Reclaim grief as a sacred teacher through ritual and remembrance, finding beauty and meaning in the ache.
This is a space for truth-telling, presence, and connection—for anyone ready to walk with grief as both wound and wisdom.
Make It Sacred
Enroll anytime · Online · Co-taught with Lauren of La Mort
Death is not just a medical event. It is one of the most profound thresholds a human being will ever cross, and it deserves to be held that way. Make It Sacred is a training in ritual and ceremony for end-of-life, designed for death workers, caregivers, and anyone called to bring intentionality, meaning, and reverence to the dying process. You'll leave with practical tools for creating sacred space, leading ceremony, and honoring the threshold in a way that feels true to the person dying and the people who love them.
