Death Counseling: Facing mortality with courage, creativity, and care
Is death on your mind—or sitting quietly in the corner, hoping you won’t notice?
I offer a 3-hour Death Counseling Session for anyone 30 + (and younger folks wrestling with loss). In this session we’ll:
• map your fears & hopes with a Death Attitudes Checklist
• dream up your ideal final day
• play the “Funeral Playlist” game 🎵
• take a mycelium-inspired death meditation 🌱
• get real about the dying process (facts and feelings)
• craft a will that feels like you
Who it’s for
Adults 30 + who want to meet their own impermanence with intention
Younger folks grieving loved ones and beginning to ponder their own legacy
Anyone curious about what a “good death” can look and feel like
Anyone in the United States
Session format
One immersive 3-hour conversation on Zoom (or in person, I am located in Oakland, but can travel to you. Mileage is not included in investment cost). Follow-ups available on request!
What you’ll come away with
A personalized Death Readiness Snapshot (pdf) summarizing your checklist scores, core values, and priorities
Fresh language to discuss death with family & friends
A starter outline (or creative seed) for your will, ethical will, or legacy project
Practices to revisit whenever mortality anxiety resurfaces
Referrals to trusted estate-planning and grief-support professionals, if desired
A resource packet with information on Advance Directive planning for your state, and more
Investment
$450 for the 3-hour session (sliding scale & payment plans available!). Follow-up sessions: $100/hour.
I believe everyone should be able to access quality death care and counseling. Please reach out even if this is cost-prohibitive at $450, and we will work something out. I am here for you.
