There is only ONE SPOT LEFT for the Spring Cohort of Deathschool Evolved. We begin April 20th. Head to my website to save your spot.

I am so grateful for the amount of scholarship applications we have received. It is heartwarming to see this movement grow. I am pouring through responses, and will be in touch with all applicants throughout the weekend.

Stay tuned...🖤 💀

Creating DeathWives with Lauren changed my whole life.

For a girl born wondering where we come from and where we go when we die, who experienced grief young, it was my wildest dream to build the very thing I needed:
A community of others who could see and feel beyond the ordinary.

And then Deathwives came together, like it was always meant to be. And like something always meant to be, it grew strong.

What began as community workshops became comprehensive curriculums. We wrote a whole body of knowledge. We took our passion on the road - from the mountains of Colorado to the skyline of New York City. From living rooms to classrooms to stages to screens. Thousands of you came to us to talk about death and dying.

You told us about your loved ones who died.
You showed us the scars on your hearts,
your resilience, your tenderness, and your talent.
You became friends and doulas.

Mary Oliver said that we must be able
to do three things:
to love what is mortal;
to hold it
against our bones knowing
our own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes to let it go,
to let it go.
The time has come for me to let Deathwives go.

I have been grieving this for over a year now.

I am so proud of Deathwives. We set out to change the narrative around death and dying, and we have. We don’t have to question the cosmos and grieve all alone anymore. There is a whole movement now.

And after decay comes renewal. Any death worker will tell you. So I will keep unfolding into new seasons and expressions of this work. You can find me here at Death Ed, where I will continue teaching grief and praise for as long as the Earth wants me.

The next session of Deathschool Evolved Begins April 20th, and I want you there. 💙

Scholarship applications are open for THREE more days, and payment plans are always welcome. (Scholarship application in my bio)

This work is real, it's human, and it's not going anywhere.

It’s scholarship time again!

I have always held the belief that this education belongs to everyone, and I like to open the doors whenever possible.
If cost has been the reason you’ve stayed on the sidelines, I hope this offering makes a way forward.

I am offering one 50% scholarship, and one 75% scholarship.

New this cohort: Due to the amount of scholarship applications received last time, and my desire to accept more of them, I created a fully remote version of Deathschool Evolved. There are now two options: to join the live cohort, and participate in real time with me and a classroom of likeminded peers, or to work asynchronously on your own time.

Whichever path you choose, you are welcome here. 🖤

🐦 Early Bird Discounts End Today for Deathschool Evolved ($400 off!)

Our Spring cohort begins April 20th and is already more than halfway full, even before scholarships are released.

I’ll be announcing scholarships this Friday: one half scholarship and one 75% off. If you’re planning to apply, make sure you’re on the lookout for that. Or, you can head straight to my website and claim your seat.

Deathschool Evolved now offers two tracks:
Small group cohorts that meet live on Zoom twice a week
A fully remote option designed to fit any schedule

Whichever path you choose, I hope you’ll join us. 🖤

For the first time, I’ve opened a remote path into Deathschool Evolved.

Last session, I had more people ready for this work than I could accommodate while keeping the class small and intimate. So I created a remote option — and it worked so well, I’m offering it again.

Not everyone can be available for 11am learning, and now you don’t have to be.
There are now two ways to enter this work:
- Live, in community
- Remote, on your own time (at a slightly lower tuition)

Same teachings. Different rhythm.
If you’ve been feeling the call, this might be your way in.

I love it! And I know she loves it too. 🩵🥹

Many years ago my sister said that when she dies, she wants to be turned into a blue wind chime.

Now she literally has. 💀

Her bones, clean from water cremation, were mixed into this ceramic, crafted into a mobile, and glazed the color of her eyes, by artist Kelly Gilleran, who Stacy would have loved.

I share this to say - we can memorialize our loved ones in so many ways. It’s worth looking beyond the corporate funeral world when seeing ways to authentically and artistically honor your loved ones. I for one would not want to spend eternity as ashes on a dusty mantle.
