🌳 Green burial isn’t new. It’s how we used to bury the dead for most of human history.
So how did we drift so far from our roots?

Our bodies are designed to decompose, to return to the earth, to feed the cycle of life. Yet modern funeral practices interrupt that process with chemicals, containers, and systems built on profit rather than acknowledging the natural circle of life.

Green and conservation burial invite us to restore balance. To honor death as a natural, ecological act. To let our final choice align with the way nature actually works.

Join us for a guided conversation on green and conservation burial and explore how returning to the earth can be an act of integrity - for our bodies and the planet.
💚Sunday Jan 11 2-3:30 pm pst

As the year draws to a close and the holidays approach, we invite you to pause… to gather in community… and to remember those who came before us.

Join Jenny of Yellow Trellis Counseling and Kara of The Death Network () for an evening of gentle remembrance and reflection. Together, we’ll honor the loved ones, ancestors, and guiding spirits who have shaped our lives.

There will be light snacks, warm cider, and space to share stories or simply sit in quiet remembrance. Whether you’re grieving a recent loss, reflecting on family history, or wishing to bring more mindfulness into this season, you are welcome here.

All are welcome... individuals, families, and friends. This will be a space of open-hearted remembrance and connection.

🕯️ Bring a photo or small object to add to our communal remembrance table if you wish.

Death Doulas and Funeral Directors share a common calling - to bring care, compassion, and dignity to life’s final chapter.

While funeral directors guide families through the logistics and legalities of death care, Death Doulas provide the emotional, spiritual, and practical support that surrounds it. Together, we bridge the moments before and after death, ensuring every family feels supported, seen, and held through the entire process.

That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that The Death Network is partnering with Orchid Cremations in San Diego, CA to provide a seamless experience for the families we serve. This collaboration allows us to not only support individuals and loved ones during the sacred transition of death, but also assist with cremation and funeral arrangements - bringing care and continuity to every step of the journey.

As part of this partnership, we are honored to offer personalized vigils alongside Orchid’s flame and water cremation packages. A vigil is a meaningful moment to pause, reflect, and say goodbye with intention. Guided by one of our compassionate death doulas, these gatherings create space for connection, remembrance, and love- whether held before or after death.

Together, we are proud to provide families who choose Orchid Cremations with an authentic and heartfelt way to honor life and say farewell.

is a laid-back night out where good drinks meet real talk. It’s a chance to connect with like-minded folks who aren’t afraid to go deep - chatting about life, loss, and everything in between.

This month, we’re excited to collaborate with Lisa Pahl, hospice social worker and owner of . Lisa has just released her newest conversation game, The Dementia Deck, and we’ll be playing it together for a night that’s both meaningful and easygoing.

There will be drinks (beer, cider, kombucha, NA options) and food available for purchase. Participation is always optional, and everyone is welcome in our all-inclusive community. This event is free!

What’s one of our favorite things to do? Death Education!
last night we had the privilege of sharing our vision of how the funeral industry will be reshaped over the next decade or so. With 50% of our funeral directors expected to retire in the next five years, aging boomers and demand for greener options, we believe there’s a huge shift on the horizon and we couldn’t be happier!

It’s time to Do Death Different!

Thank you for inviting us to speak to the San Diego team!

The Death Network Collective invites you to join us for an open, supportive conversation about the realities of death doula work: the highs, the lows, and everything in between.

Are you curious about becoming a death doula - or navigating the early stages of building your practice? Whether you’re just starting out or looking for guidance as you grow, this monthly gathering is for you.

Each month we’ll dive into common questions like:

🌟 How do I connect with my community as a new death doula?
🌟 Do I need a website or social media presence?
🌟 Who/what/where/why and how do I network?
🌟 How do I set pricing and talk about money with potential clients?

This is not a class or a lecture - it’s a casual space for doulas, by doulas, where you can ask questions, share experiences, and learn from each other.

📅 When: October 13
⏰ Time: 6:00–7:00 pm PST
📍 Where: Zoom (link provided upon RSVP)
💜 Who: Anyone interested in death doula work or building their practice

RSVP Link in Bio or look for The Death Network on Meet Up.
We hope to see you soon!
