After the funeral, the support often fades — but the desire to honor your person doesn’t.

This course walks you step-by-step through creating a ritual that reflects your loved one's unique life story and your real memories — something personal and grounding. You’ll have structure and creative guidance, without it ever feeling overwhelming. For a limited time, to a small group of founding members, I've offered the five guided weeks with live calls for a single payment of $77. Future cohorts of the course will need to pay nearly twice that amount, so now's your special opportunity to pay the lower rate.  We had 5 students taking the course during my first cohort.

Meet your emotional needs with a ritual

You don’t have to figure this out alone. Many people want something ongoing — something that honors how much this loss has impacted them, and that captures their loved one’s personality, values, and story in a way that feels real. This course gives you structure to create a ritual that reflects who they truly were — and what your relationship still means.

Prepare Emotionally

You'll start by receiving gentle, structured support to help you keep moving through heavy emotions without feeling overwhelmed. 

Explore Meaningful Ritual Possibilities

Next, you'll explore examples of rituals across cultures and history, and discover the symbolic and sensory elements within rituals that create emotional resonance and evoke deep meaning around life and loss.

Design Your Personalized Ritual

Finally, you'll brainstorm and shape a ritual that truly reflects your loved one and honors specific details about them, such as their hobbies and passions, their favorite foods, or even a dream you know they never got to have fulfilled.

What's Included in This Five-Week Guided Experience

5 live small-group calls

(Sundays in March at 11 AM ET / 8 AM PT.  Live attendance is encouraged, and recordings will be available.)

Weekly video lessons + guided journaling prompts

(30–60 minutes of independent learning and reflection each week, with a private online discussion space to connect with classmates between the live calls.)

A clear, step-by-step framework for creating your personalized ritual

(You’ll be able to rewatch the video lessons and live-call recordings for up to six months — and share what you’ve created once you’re finished, if you’d like.)

About The Live Calls

 If you join this first guided offering of the “Honoring Their Memory” course, you’ll be part of a small, intimate group that will genuinely connect and bond over our five weeks of live calls. I’ll be able to offer real-time support for whatever part of the process you may find yourself getting stuck in. You’ll have the option to share your experiences and feel validated in what you’re going through — and we’ll all be gently encouraging each other as we create rituals that are personal and meaningful. The live calls won’t be about teaching new lessons. Instead, they’re a space to review what you’ve learned that week, reflect together, and feel supported as you move through the process. No one will ever be pressured to share — you’re welcome to participate quietly and simply learn by listening. After the five weeks are over, we’ll take a few weeks off to continue working on our rituals without weekly meetings or new lessons. Then we’ll have a sixth, bonus follow-up call to reconnect, reflect on progress, and encourage each other as we keep working to acknowledge our own grief and honor our loved ones through ritual. Because the group is small, I'll work to find a follow-up meeting time that works for everyone in the cohort.

Take the Next Step in Honoring Their Memory

Enrollment for the 2nd cohort closes [date to be determined] at 11:59 PM Pacific time. The First Live Call will start [date]. The enrollment fee has increased to $147. If you’ve felt the quiet desire to do something more — something intentional — on your grief journey, consider joining this small initial cohort alongside others who are in a similar place. Instead of carrying that “I should be doing more” feeling alone, let’s turn it into something tangible and healing.
