In this insightful conversation with end-of-life counsellor Dr. Martha Jo Atkins, we explore the power of restoring our natural connection with death in a culture that is conditioned to resist it.
We delve into:
- the clarity that happens when we partner with death as an ally
- how to cultivate the presence to support our beloved humans and pets at end of life
- the value of ritual and ceremony in the dying journey
- channelling creativity as a grounding force in challenging times
- how the medicine of kindness creates safety
- the unique ways that children are equipped to be with death
- the importance of creating spaces to feel deeply so that love can move with us
Martha Jo also shares about “D. School”, an initiative she designed to help us shift perceptions around death and offer guidance to those dealing with it.
Marked by personal revelations and heart-touching stories, this episode investigates how we can reframe our perspectives on death, making it less about loss and more about the transition of life.
* Martha’s next D-School begins in February 16th, 2024
