True North..
It's been a moment since I have written to you. I have needed to take some time to come back into my own true north after tending to the afterlife journey I have been on for the last nine months.
For those that don't know I had a long-time client pass and without consent, left me in charge of her afterlife care and executor duties, which has been a great honor and a GREAT burden.
I have a superpower that also comes with consequences and that is to step into responsibility when no one else will. This has bitten me in the ass over the years and through this process, I have greatly suffered the consequences of this gift.
The death initiation has come with so much challenge and difficulty. I can't even begin to describe all I have walked through, honestly, it's movie material.
As I have looked back wondering why I said yes to this, I realize that if I said no, her wishes wouldn't have been honored. And it seemed to me, it was the least we could do for her as she suffered greatly in this life.
As this journey is closer to completion I can honestly say I have done everything needed to support her in every way. Even though there has been an exponential amount of pain and struggle to tend to each aspect, I have learned so much and gained so much experience around the death journey and how to live your life in a way that can bring more ease to the process.
Being surrounded by my loving community and plant kin, the sacred land of my birth, Colorado, I was finally able to remove the entity of her life from my own so I can now integrate all I have learned through this process to share with my community.
This month inside the ReMembership we will explore the sacred teachings of how living life in ceremony can support the alignment towards and with your desired outcome. I have created a series of questions inspired by Brigitte Mars, my dear herbal medicine teacher, to reflect upon now, so you can live peacefully and die gracefully.
Through this process, I have been reflecting upon my core teachings and programs for personal healing - the Resonance Ritual and the Temple of the Womb - and seeing how these offerings are truly guiding stones to help you tend to all of these places within your lived experience, so you leave this planet with less baggage, more ease, and a deeper sense of connection to this living web of creation.
