The marigolds are coming. 🧡
We remember. We celebrate. We welcome you home.

Día de los Mu***os is not a somber holiday. It is a vibrant invitation to pull up a chair for those we love and remember that we are still in relationship with them.

🕯️ 7 reasons to work with your ancestors
🌼 A step-by-step guide to building an ofrenda, with the four elements

💀 Sugar skull making, with tips from years of sugar-encrusted workshops
🍞 A pan de mu**to recipe
🎨 Day of the Dead face painting, with notes on cultural respect

Kitty Edwards has come to believe that wonder is not a luxury. It is a practice.

The questions she poses are meant to stir something within you that wants to become visible in the world.

If that speaks to you, she'd love to welcome you to her monthly newsletter, Leap Into Your Life.

Every morning Kitty Edwards journals — not as a discipline, but as a lifeline.

This morning she wrote about grief within grief: what it means to lose someone slowly, while they are still beside you. Care partnering for her husband as he lived with dementia taught her that some of the deepest losses have no funeral.

Journaling gave her a way to hold what she couldn't yet say aloud. Research confirms what caregivers already know in their bodies. It reduces burnout, eases anxiety, and restores a measure of clarity.

If you are navigating loss or transition, come journal with Kitty down the River of Life.

Grief came for Kitty too. These rituals are what helped her walk it.

If you are navigating loss, you are not alone. Kitty Edwards created "15 Rituals for Walking with Grief" to help reorient body and mind toward the possibility of living fully — rooted in purpose, uplifted by moments of joy.

Every river of life has its waterfalls — the sudden, horrific drops that plunge us into absolute disorientation and make us feel lost.

We all have regrets. What matters is what we do with them.
"No Regrets: Living, Loving, and Letting Go" is a small collection born from a profound friendship — a meditation ritual, a personal story, and a portable altar — offered as a gift to anyone ready to release the past and step more fully into the life still waiting ahead.

I love this workshop. It is a gentle approach to stepping into conversation on death. Conscious Dying Collective

Over seven weeks, you’ll explore your relationship with mortality while reflecting on your values, beliefs, and what truly matters most in your life. Through guided conversations, experiential practices, and thoughtful exercises using the North Star Tool, you’ll translate these reflections into meaningful end-of-life plans. By the end of the course, you will have articulated your wishes, completed key documents, and gained the clarity and confidence to navigate end-of-life conversations and decisions with greater peace of mind. We hope you'll join us on this transformative journey!

Course Dates: 3/24/26 - 5/5/26
