Our Mission

A Sacred Passing's mission is to guide and assist people towards a more conscious dying experience, while honoring individual autonomy. A Sacred Passing offers death and dying education to individuals, community associations, and medical organizations. Together our organization educates, collaborates, and shares ways to be supportive educational companions. Core Values

The Crew within A Sacred Passing is made up of volunteers who work in community to create and sustain inclusivity in our classrooms and our resources. This includes building access focused, anti-racist, and gender-inclusive environments, educational materials, and community partnerships In community, we work to actively dismantle systems of power and oppression as they present in death and dying through education, care and advocacy.

A Place to Thrive: Coming to our car port soon.

In the name of future building, mutual aid, community care and actualizing what we need…. We present our new addition. In the next coming months this little space will be available for 1:1 death planning, peer to peer conversations , listening sessions, 1:1 grief and art sessions, and community practioner appointments.

We have to make care accessible as the machines stop caring for us as we become less and less profitable. We see this space growing to be a go to, a dependable space for care… yes it’s a tiny camper - but it’s coming to us packed with love. It has electricity, windows, a place to sit, and possibility. We have a couple handy friends who wil help us make sure the stove is safe, and may even help with some small renovations.

We can’t fix the machine, but we can do the best we can and - here we are doing just that.

Needs right now:

a muralist who is open to painting her outside… something that our neighbors will enjoy, soothing, something that looks like ‘nature of daylight’ sounds, something that feels like Apatite green with a bit of mica…

Someone to start to gather community practitioners who want to participate - therapists- both of the body and the mind, herbalists, physicians, social workers, artists, death care practitioners, teachers, lawyers….

We can burn it down, but we have to build at the same time.

February Community Education Webinar

Decolonizing Death Care:
Speaking Back to Colonial Oppression
w/ ASP 2025 Community Death Care Resident
Audrey Medwayosh

Decolonization is a term that in more recent years has become widely used.

But what does it really mean, especially when it comes to care work?

Join us for a discussion about decolonizing death care from an indigenous perspective and how we can acknowledge and fight oppression while not letting it define us.

Audrey Medwayosh is Anishinaabe (Potawatomi), a citizen of the Wasauksing Nation, and a PhD student in Native Studies, with a focus on death care for urban Indigenous people. They strive to foster a community of care for Indigenous people facing preventable deaths due to colonialism.

Often people from@around the globe want to contribute to our community care- now we have a way!

Hankies made with Love
We have created a grief care program for the loves of the people who use A Place to Die and we are hoping that you can help us love on these folks. In their care package we are going to put handmade hankies. Can you help us by making some? They don’t have to be perfect, or all the same, or a solid color. Maybe they are made from clothes you have. Maybe they are made from the clothes of someone in your life who has died- a flannel hankie…. A cotton hankie …What a HUG. (No buttons or snaps please)

Ask: homemade Hankies sent to us here at 7832 S 113th street Seattle WA 98178

Tending together is how we get through these times.

Join us this Saturday to talk about the book Herbalism & State Violence. Our community book club doesn’t require you to have read the whole book, or even some. It can be nice to have thoughtful conversation with people who care. Generative thought tentacles may grow, relationship seeds planted…. And in general a reminder that lovers outnumber haters, and we need to remember how to protect ourselves with the tools we have.

This conversation will be facilitated by Chauncey

Prompt Questions:
Does this book invite you to see herbal care in a new light, or at least allow you to reconnect with the possibility of growing skills in herbal care?

What arose for you when reading “The Flower of Your Heart : Plant Imagination” (page 59), and are you now curious to explore this form of sensory herbalism?

What did the conceptual linkage of Herbalism as a balm + a mutual aid solution to state violence help you to understand about the practices of herbal solidarity?

Given the limitations of Western medicine as rooted in hierarchical framing which deracinate herbal wisdom from its geographic and cultural contexts, what are the ways that skillfully sharing herbal traditions can prepare us now in the age of digital disinformation and increasing barriers to healthcare access?

Are there now plants that you’re interested in deepening your relationship with after reading these stories?
