    Hello, I’m Ash—a trained death doula with certification from the International End-of-Life Doula Association (INELDA). I believe that creativity and grief are deeply intertwined aspects of our shared human experience. Both are forces that connect us to what is beyond us—creativity through expression, and grief through the process of transformation and healing. My approach to this class blends spiritually-centered, generative techniques to support both the creative and emotional journeys that shape who we are. I’m excited to guide you in enriching your relationship to the potent energetic axis found within these experiences.

    Thank you for being here.
