An invitation to sit with death and live more fully.
A 2-Hour Guided Workshop with Grace & Soul Wellness
This two-hour workshop offers a compassionate space to explore your personal relationship with death—not to fix it or rush toward acceptance, but simply to notice what is already there. Through guided reflection, meditation, journaling, and shared presence, we will gently turn toward the fears, curiosities, and quiet truths that can arise when we acknowledge our mortality. Rooted in nervous-system awareness, choice, and care, this experience is designed to feel grounding and supportive, leaving you with greater clarity, tenderness, and a deeper connection to the life you are living now.
No prior experience is needed—only a willingness to meet yourself where you are.
What We’ll Explore:
Gentle grounding and guided reflection
Exploring your current relationship with death and mortality
A guided meditation (Tonglen-inspired) to sit with fear, tenderness, and compassion
Journaling for integration and insight
Optional sharing in a supportive, non-judgmental space
Closing practices to return to life feeling resourced and whole
This Workshop Is For:
Adults who feel a curiosity about their relationship with death
Those interested in contemplative practices like meditation and journaling
People who feel emotionally resourced enough to explore tender topics
Anyone drawn to personal growth, presence, and deeper meaning
Those wanting to explore mortality as a way of deepening connection to life
This Workshop May Not Be For:
Those currently experiencing acute or recent grief following a loss
Individuals seeking therapy, crisis support, or trauma processing
Anyone feeling emotionally overwhelmed or unsafe turning inward at this time
Those looking for directive advice or immediate emotional relief
About Grace & Soul
Grace & Soul Wellness offers end-of-life and contemplative support rooted in compassion, presence, and gentle care. As a death doula, Monica aims to create spaces where people can explore mortality, meaning, and life with choice, honesty, and grace.
