Hello there, I’m Rebecca Mullins, I’m a Death Midwife serving West Michigan and I’m honored to bring this to our Grand Rapids community. This in-person practice session is a deeply meaningful and intimate way to honor our beloved ones after death and feel empowered in the process. It's a loving way to honor the life and body of our transitioned ones while receiving the gifts that arise. Together, we will make space for education, empowerment, ritual, ceremony and celebration. You will learn, practical, legal, energetic, spiritual and emotional tools for body care in death for home & place-based celebrations.
During this workshop you will learn:
-How to create a nurturing environment around death transition
-How to wash and care for the body
-How to dress the body
-How to anoint the body
-How to shroud the body
-How to prepare for vigil
-Supplies list
-Brief history of Body Care
-Green options for the body after death
-How to find state laws concerning the family’s rights after the death of a loved one
-Death Celebrations
-So much more
This session offers a reweaving of death practices and perceptions, invites healing & grief to be expressed and witnessed however it shows up. Bring your open hearts, presence and curiosity. All feelings that may arise will be held with great tenderness and care.
