Listening is love. Sometimes all that is needed i

Listening is love.
Sometimes all that is needed is providing a loving heart and an invitation. How often do we invite others into conversation without having an agenda for the outcome, or a times schedule? When you sit down for a conversation check in with yourself, are you fully available? When we are asking big questions come with an open mind and heart and take your time.

In 2016 our Weekend Educational Retreat was then called In The End... There Is Only Love. In the 6 years since then it has become more and more clear to us how true this statement is. Cheserae Scala and I taught this group of amazing women in Traverse City, Michigan. We spent three days opening our hearts. Wondering, and exploring all aspects of conscious dying.

Birgitta and Cheserae invite us into a conversatio

Birgitta and Cheserae invite us into a conversation about our relationship with death, dying, and grief and share insights from their lived experience as end-of-life midwives.
Dying is an important part of living yet it is often hidden in the shadows and cloaked in fear leaving us isolated as we care for the ones we love or navigate our own final days. With precious few tools to support our journey and very few opportunities for conversations, to learn or share skills and information we find ourselves unprepared to support the experience of dying, death, grief, and caregiving.
End Of Life Midwives Birgitta and Cheserae are passionate about changing this dynamic. They invite us into conversation and exploration of our relationship with death. Creating space for us to ponder how we can live life to its fullest every day and approach dying and death with love, compassion, and non-judgment.

Sometimes an altar is just a photograph placed on

Sometimes an altar is just a photograph placed on a nightstand, other times altars are elaborate communal places for shared grief, Always Altars are a place to rest our heart 💖
And then there is Beauty...how divine it is when the heart rests in beauty.
Do you have a place to lay down your heart?
