This month has been a very busy care month for us at Asphodel. We are leading with heart, knowledge, love and the understanding that we really don’t know anything at all.

Today was a full effort from so many in community to offer care.

Gratitude.

death is a profound ending of an earth life and those left behind are so tender. Nothing can change that, ever. What we get to do, is soften the edges. Through nature, with grace and tending, we get to shift the space that holds the living and the dead.
Helping someone shroud and flower up their person creates a space like no other. With each bow tied, with each flower placed- there is an edge softened.

A Place to Die offers a space to be with dying and death completely different than most people expect. All of us volunteers here at a sacred passing are so thankful to be present for people in these moments of profound change. No one leaves this place the same, we have done something different.

Here’s to world building while the old one burns down.

A beautiful sunset caught by Sally.

This weekend I (lashanna) was rereading my texts with Sally before her death and this was the last photo she sent me. She didn’t spend much time out on the deck, or outside of the living room and kitchen…. But we made a deal that she’d get out on the deck for 10 minutes a day and search for beauty. She was a stubborn Scorpio to start with and then she would find more and more beauty as time went forward. She looked at me one day and said, “it really does get easier the more you practice.” I giggled and said, ya don’t say Scorpio….

I miss talking with her. I wish I could tell her everything that’s happening right now and hear what she thought. I wish I had her fierce protective cape flying around me and her 10 toes down unbeatable love in a physical form.

I miss her. She’s be so sad at the world, I’m thankful she’s not here to see it- it would break her heart.

Join us Sunday July 20th to talk about the Little Bloom Book!!! This one is super special, we have got to know M the whole time this book has been blooming itself into reality and on a page!

M and Leilani will be holding the space and would love to have some friends join! Here are some prompts -
How conscious are we about our relationship with other living beings?

How do you treat the life that surrounds you?

What is your relationship with yourself during periods of frustration or lack of growth?

How often do you incorporate CURIOSITY when perceiving or relating to others?

What ways do we care for our plants, that we can apply to caring for ourselves?

How do you respond to feelings that are too big for a moment?

And a reminder about the space - We will be meeting the 3rd Sunday of the month, 2-3:30pm PST over zoom.

Together we will be reading books that expand our notions of what it means to be in community and how we show up for each other.

Each meetup we will discuss the whole book. Please come having read what you read - it will have been enough. You just have to be okay with spoilers.

You can join us whenever you want to read the month’s book choice - no ongoing commitment.

Register here!

A Sacred Passing’s Deathcare Residency program serves a vital purpose by challenging traditional norms surrounding deathcare.

Our program aims to provide a unique space where individuals can explore alternative approaches to end-of-life care. Unlike mainstream models in the United States, A Sacred Passing’s care is deeply rooted in principles of anti-racism, anti-capitalism, and autonomy. our innovative approach sets this learning opportunity apart in a conventional practice-dominated field.

This program enables experiential learning by offering an immersive experience within our space. Participants can witness firsthand how deathcare can be done differently, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for alternative methods of being together.

Cultivating a community-based deathcare practice within the current societal structures presents significant challenges. A Sacred Passing’s initiative represents a bold step towards reshaping the narrative around deathcare, inviting individuals to explore and embrace a more compassionate, inclusive, and ethical approach to end-of-life care.

This residency exists as an opportunity to knit our threads of care together, to experience the fullness of community deathcare, and to be a generative space for wisdom-sharing and transformation in community.

A Sacred Passing provides a space to be curious in exploring dying and death while intertwined with the living process. It is vital to see death happen differently, and as such, imagination, rage, curiosity, reverence, humor, and presence are all essential offerings to bring to this residency.

The values of A Sacred Passing are lived through compassion in action and being compassionate with you in your actions.
in a spirit of intentional Education and co-creation, each resident will collaborate in changing this space, this community, and themselves.

A Sacred Passing works hard to keep running outside the structures that exist. We have grown programs, a way of being and a knowing in community that we are here. We are here for the hard stuff, we are here in the mud, and the tears, and the bramble. We are here for the births, the living, dying and deaths; the celebrations, the devastations, the libations, the motivations….. we are here.
We stumble, we fall, we vibrate at a frequency of the living and the dead.
When we are in medicalized spaces, spaces rooted in the practices that uphold the myth of white supremacy- we shape shift that space with clear words, boundaries, ideas and care.

Just *ucking it all up and not holding anything together isn’t what our communities need, we gotta do both.

We depend on it. We depend on us. I depend on us. You depend on us.

We need us, more than ever now. Take some breaths with us.
