Honoring the Threads
Sunday, September 13: 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
​
Honoring the Threads: Weaving Life, Legacy, and Letting Go
I completed my Death Doula certification training through the Conscious Dying Institute in Boulder, Colorado. It was a transformative experience, to say the least. Since then, I have met more and more people drawn to this work. I encourage anyone working as a Death Doula or End of Life Coach, or anyone who is interested in the topic, to join us for our next Smiling Sage Wellness Day, “Honoring the Threads.”
We will get to experience a variety of wellness modalities and how they can be specifically used towards the end of life starting at 10 am on Sunday, September 13th. I encourage you to pack a little lunch to eat under the trees and visit with other practitioners, or skedaddle to one of the close restaurants here in town.
At 1 pm, we will have a discussion/question and answer session, as well as an opportunity to look through a number of end of life resources. Some discussion points are as follows:
​
-
What does the role of a death doula look like in the home?
-
How do you navigate differing family dynamics and client wishes?
-
What are the boundaries between medical care (hospice) and the doula's role?
You can plan to be done no later than 4 pm - and then maybe we can go put our feet in Fall River!

An Intro to Improv, and a session to explore what’s possible in the theater realm here, this fall. Check out the possibilities!
​
FRIDAYS from 5:00-6:00 PM: "Life, Anonymous" Support Group
Our goal is to increase awareness and help one another find peace, resilience, and a deeper connection to life.
This group is a secular adaptation of the traditional AA program, designed to help individuals navigate personal crises, trauma, and self-improvement, regardless of whether they struggle with addiction. We shift the focus from recovery from addiction to the broader pursuit of personal growth, mindful living, and navigating the general challenges of the human experience.
