Hello 🤍
I’ve been pretty open about my skepticism regarding doula training programs in general and “requirements” for end of life doulas, and have always been a passionate advocate for getting death education out there to your community (sensitively) so that we can raise overall awareness and help the most amount of people! That being said, today I’m coming here to recommend a course 😱 by a former teacher of mine - and author of “Cultivating the Doula Heart” and “Living Fully and Dying Prepared”.

Francesca was my instructor when I was beginning my eol doula studies with the University of Vermont’s doula program. It was their very first offering, and Francesca was just the most welcoming, warm and informative presence. Over the years I’ve continued to learn from her offerings, as I’m sure many of you reading this have. When she approached me to tell me about her new Death Literacy Educator program and asked if I’d like to be a partner, I was so beyond excited to explore the program.

I’m here to recommend it to you, officially (and I do not do this lightly). It is a comprehensive online course and community all about gaining knowledge about the dying process, grief, and delivering sensitive information with skill. At the end of the course, you’ll be able to establish yourself as a trusted source of vital information and compassionate support in your community.

I could say so much more, but it seems long form typing is not this app’s intended use - so please message me with further questions, or reach out to directly.

Lots of love

Really beautiful testimonial about the self-led living funeral from K:

“I attended Emily’s Living Funeral in person at the Philosophical Research Society in September of 2023, so I knew what to expect from the self-led kit. My first experience was so powerful and I wasn’t sure how I’d feel doing the ceremony by myself instead of with a larger group. I thought her instructions were so thoughtfully written and loved that she included resources, including her own contact information, if someone needed extra support.

I was moved by how powerful the self-led ritual was. I especially loved how she continued the sounds for an extra long time after she finished speaking to allow for gentle reemergence back to reality. It definitely felt as potent as my in person experience, and I loved that it arrived just in time for the New Year. It’s a wonderful way to give yourself a fresh start on a spiritual level!” Thank you 🤍🤍

Well it’s been a year of riding the waves of change and growth. The Center closed its doors, we welcomed new life into the world, and a few projects have come to fruition. My biggest areas of focus heading into 2025 are observing how I choose to speak, and what I choose to put my attention and energy into. My biggest goals are to serve others from a state of pure gratitude and earnestness and that my words are promoting peace and love. I know this all sounds very corny 😃 I will do my best. Would love to hear your intentions if you’d like to share 🤍

Thank you to anyone who has supported my efforts this year, and for every kind message. I appreciate your ongoing support, as I recently found out I need to come up with quite a large sum of money for endometriosis/adenomyosis surgery. I’m sharing this because it feels good to.. and you feel like my friends. I’m not worried, somehow.. I know it will all be OK! I think working within this world of death helps put everything into perspective and keeps me calm. If there’s anything you think I can do for you though, send me a message. Lots of love and Happy New Year ✨

Your body is a mental body, formed of habitual tendencies. Therefore, even if you are slain and cut into pieces, you will not die. You are, in reality, a natural form of emptiness, so there is no need to be afraid.

**available for pre-order!**

The Self-led Living Funeral kit is a mailorder version of the living funeral ceremony, intended to empower individuals to move through the living funeral ceremony on their own time, in their own space. This kit is for anyone desiring to experience the living funeral who, for whatever reason, cannot attend an in-person or online event, or simply wishes to go it alone ( with pre-recorded guidance, of course ).

The beauty of this kit is that it allows the user to dip into the mortality meditation whenever and wherever they please..whether it be once per year at a special tree, or once per month in their office.

The kit comes in either a USB-stick version, or a cassette tape with accompanying downloadable documents.
Each kit includes ( but is not limited to ):

🤍USB Drive containing video + audio versions of the ceremony

🤍A music-only file for reflection or self-guided meditation

🤍PDF setup guide

🤍Riso-printed “What To Expect” zine ..and more..

OR

🤍 A cassette tape with accompanying downloadable documents

🤍Riso-printed “What To Expect” zine.. and more ;)

I’ve been thinking about this for a long time and am so excited to bring it to fruition. Please let me know if you have any questions. I am to get pre-orders shipped by the new year ! £38 preorder 🤍 love to you all x

I’ve always struggled with trying to figure out how to combine and present all of the various aspects of my life and what I do. I have admired those who have a singular vision — So concise ! So focused! The reality is, I make music, I make art, I serve those at the end of life…they all feed into each other. I wanted to create one website that showcases everything I do in one place without worrying about my various audiences. With that being said, welcome to my new website ✨ (link in bio)!
With this return, I would also like to announce that my services are now donation-based (as really they have always been).. but you won’t find any service prices on my site. I wholeheartedly believe that doulas should be paid for their services, but I am no longer a full-time doula, and my focus is more on educating my local community at this time. I could speak a lot more on this, but I’ll leave it at that for now.
I feel so lucky to have had the help of the super-talent Lilla with branding, graphics and overall business vision. I highly recommend her services if you’re looking for a revamp, or are just starting out. She really took the time to listen, understand and ruminate on my vision.
I also want to thank , fellow death-interested person and website wizz for helping me get the site off the ground.
It is a work in progress, so please keep checking back- share with your friends- send me notes about how I can improve. Lots of love to you all and happy to be back !
