Anatomy of Sorrow
Anatomy of Sorrow is a three-week immersive series for those who want to meet grief with depth, courage, and reverence.
In our time together, we will:
Map the shifting landscape of grief and the ways it reshapes our inner and outer worlds.
Explore the body of grief—how sorrow lives in our cells, breath, and bones, and how we can tend to it.
Reclaim grief as a sacred teacher through ritual and remembrance, finding beauty and meaning in the ache.
This is a space for truth-telling, presence, and connection—for anyone ready to walk with grief as both wound and wisdom.

If I Died Tomorrow...
This masterclass is for anyone—at any age—who wants to face death not with fear, but with clarity.
Together, we’ll explore the essential components of end-of-life planning: naming your medical proxy, deciding what happens to your body, your belongings, and your legacy. You’ll receive practical tools and soulful guidance to help make your death a final act of love—not confusion.
Because we’re not promised tomorrow.
But we can decide how we meet it.
