UPDATE: There were six of us (seven if we include Ruby the Wonder Dog!) in attendance today. Two end of life doulas, two more who are contemplating taking a doula course, a former hospice chaplain, and a young woman who also feels called to work in this transitional space.
The conversation revolved around these topics:
❣️Rituals during the dying process. (sacred anointing of oils, dance, song, music, sound baths with crystal bowls and kochi chimes)
❣️How folks die differently: some want to be surrounded by laughter and family; others wait until we leave the room to slip out quietly
❣️How end of life doulas compliment hospice care
❣️Voluntary stopping Eating and Drinking (VSED)
❣️Medical Aid in Dying (MAID)
❣️Living authentically and speaking your truth

What do you want your death to look like?
Wednesday, July 30th at 3pm-4:30pm at Enchanted Forest Reiki Center, Spiritual Items 'n More.
Bring a friend, your SO, your dad, or your sister. Or...come alone and connect with other like-minded individuals. 😊
Have the conversation, say the hard things, share on an intimate level.
Be transparent. Be vulnerable.
Stand in your power. 🔥
