Death Reverence

An online immersive experience via Zoom

Series Begins January 28, 3-6 pm PT

Experience a sacred way of being with death

Our Irish ancestors walked with death in a way that has dramatically changed in modernity. Understanding how we as humans have honored death through the ages and how we have grieved can offer wisdom for living, dying, and grieving in these times.

Join us for this series of seasonal sessions, to remember ways to approach and honor death, to grieve and keen, through each season of the solar year.   For each gathering, we will journey with a mythic death guide of Ireland and weave in our ancestors' verbal and non-verbal language through myth, story, herb, and tree. We will share a place in Ireland that holds reverence in our search for the meaning of life and death. We will offer ways to connect to Nature, noticing her ever-shifting cycles of life and death, including a herbal and tree ally for each season. We will meet via Zoom. All sessions will be recorded and recordings sent within 24 hours of class time.  

$65 for each session or $225 for the series

Your guides for this series are Tonja Reichley and Charlene Ray.  

Tonja has been living in the seaside village of Kinvara, in the west of Ireland, for almost 20 years, connecting to the wisdom of the land and their sacred places: the holy wells and sacred springs, the beloved trees and hedgerow herbs.  She has been leading sacred journeys to Ireland for many years, weaving in myth, ritual and herbal co-creation.

Charlene divides her time between the beautiful  landscape of the Pacific Northwest of the US and her soul’s home, Ireland. She is a grief tender and student of the Art of Dying where she guides others to access their own inner wisdom in sacred relationships with the more than human world.

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm but to add color to my sunset sky. 
— Rabindranath Tagore, Bengali poet, writer and composer
