Collective Traumas & Events
Large-scale events—such as natural disasters, mass violence, pandemics, political unrest, and other collective crises—can disrupt our lives in profound ways. Sometimes these experiences happen to us directly; other times, we feel their impact through the people around us or the media we consume. This page offers a supportive space to learn, process, and begin connecting around these shared challenges. You’ll find engaging events and resources, along with introductions to community contributors who bring lived experience and caring perspectives. However collective traumas and events touch your life, you're welcome to begin here.

What I'm here to reimagine...
I'm here to reimagine the Aging experience. With changes that have/are taking place within me I feel released to think/feel/act in a way that's authentic to me. Both transitioning to and living with Aging are part of this reimagining.

What I'm here to reimagine...
is the space between living and dying. As a death doula, I guide people toward the truths we spend our lives avoiding, because in meeting death with open eyes, we learn how to live more boldly, compassionately, and fully.
