About End of Life Ceremonies

How It ALL STARTED

This all started when a close friend was going to pass…  a beloved friend who lived in a Right To Die state.  The last time we spoke (and I knew it would be the last) I told him about this thing I do when loved ones pass…. I play my bowl and sing their soul…. Pave their path with love.   He loved the idea and I arranged to have a ceremony for all of us who loved him to energetically keep him company while he was passing.  

Almost 70 people were there from around the world. It was an amazing experience. Humbling…An honor.

And opened up tremendous conversations…. Of honesty, depth. Of grief, fear, doubts, the blessings… beliefs, fascination, curiosity, spirituality…

This was the beginning of End of Life Ceremonies and our Bereavement work.

what it is about

End of Life Ceremonies is for those that are leaving, those caring for those leaving, beloveds of those leaving and those who are left behind.

Our mission is to ease people’s dying experience and help their loved ones heal from grief and loss… with compassion, empathy, acceptance and love.

Death is the biggest experience we’ll ever face. It can feel difficult, lonely, and fearful for you and your beloveds. We’re honored to offer these beautiful ceremonies that take much of that away. We want to help pave your path home… to create a journey of love in any part of your transition… before you leave, while you are leaving and after you go.

We want to sing your soul home.

You don’t have to be alone

There are only 3 times in life we can be present for another…  birth, life & death. All are sacred.  All.   It is in those moments that we truly come together, in witness and connection and presence.   

Although it is a part of life, we do not give death the same recognition and importance as other life events. It is an ending of a cycle of our presence here on earth and an opportunity to be present, to grieve, to connect, to love and to create a beautiful memory of closure  to hold on to for those left behind.

It is our honor to be present with you during these ceremonies…
to celebrate your life while you are here,
allowing those you love and who love you to express it while they and you can….
To sing your soul, to pave your path with love and prayer
while you are leaving or just after…. 
To help your loved ones through their grief after you are gone.
