I found the group to be a supportive, safe container in which to deepen my death preparation explorations. I appreciated Alice's gentle guidance. Each thoughtful module flowed to the next, with practical information, as well as ample time for reflection. I found the space for inner reflection very powerful and beneficial. I highly recommend this work. - Linda M.

Deathtending is consistently and compassionately preparing to meet our death when the time comes.
This is a gentle space to turn toward death with clarity, care, and curiosity. We’ll explore the emotional, spiritual, and practical work of tending to death and life: legacy, grief, forgiveness, advance directives, and what it means to live with impermanence.

Immense gratitude for the privilege to work with you, Alice, and our intimate group. During the time of our group engagement, I was more focused in my own deathtending work. The post-group follow-ups from you are wonderful reflective inspiration. - Candace Peterson-Kahn
