Evolving, Aging, and Planning Together
Private sessions and workshops for mothers and daughters.
Online and in person.
Navigating decisions about aging, caregiving, and end of life with our family requires honest conversations that support parents' need to age with dignity, agency, and autonomy and children's need to be prepared. The power and significance of the mother-daughter relationship can both challenge and enhance the planning process. This intimate and practical one-day workshop will:
-
Support conversations to develop shared expectations for the future.
-
Facilitate decision-making around advanced care planning.
-
Address emotional and practical aspects of aging and caregiving with intention.
-
Engage participants through discussion, creative exercises, and decision-making tools.
-
Foster a sense of peace of mind around this often emotional time.
-
Provide a take-home workbook for completing an advanced directive.
Embodying Presence and Impermanence
For adults with no prior yoga experience required.
This workshop invites participants into a gentle, embodied exploration of presence and impermanence through yoga and end-of-life–informed reflection. The experience emphasizes direct awareness of what is happening in the body, the breath, and the moment as it unfolds.
The workshop “container” is a mindful hatha yoga practice centered on sensation, breath, and stillness offering space to notice change as it happens: effort and release, stability and uncertainty, arising and passing away. This embodied attention provides a grounded sense of presence and lived experience of impermanence.
Interspersed with the practice are creative exercises, small group conversations, etc, that enable participants to explore how awareness of impermanence can clarify values, soften fear, and deepen appreciation for the present moment.
This workshop, which is not tied to any belief system, is open to anyone curious about cultivating presence, meeting change with greater ease, and living more consciously in the face of life’s natural transitions. Participants may leave the workshop with:
-
A deeper sense of presence and embodied awareness
-
Greater ease with change and uncertainty
-
Practices for grounding and self-regulation in daily life
-
Increased clarity around personal values and what feels meaningful now
-
A renewed appreciation for the fleeting and the precious.
Death Over Dessert
One of the best ways to normalize or demystify anything is to talk about it openly. I host free quarterly Death Over Dessert (AKA Death Cafe and Death Over Dinner) events that are an opportunity to gather together, share and discuss the often uncomfortable topic of death and dying in a relaxed, and often fun, setting. During this time, I facilitate structured conversations that lead to new understandings about oneself and that build community connection.
THESE EVENTS TAKE PLACE IN PERSON AND ONLINE
