We tend to avoid conversations on death, dying, & grief - and yet, we are all moving through the cycle of life. Join death doula, end of life celebrant, and expressive artist Bianca Staudt in destigmatizing conversations on death & dying, and explore how we can connect even in the face of uncomfortable topics. Our time together will include debunking common myths of end of life, brief exploration of how to think about death at any stage of life, creative sharing, and suggestions for where to turn for additional resources.

Bring your curiosity, an open mind, and a notebook/journal if you’d like.
