Charging for deathcare has been a hot topic on Instagram lately. I’ve got lots to say, but for now, no matter what your skill, craft, offering or job is- if you wrap your worth in a price tag, you’ve lost the plot.

This Friday, April 24th, and every fourth Friday at in West Seattle from 6:30-8pm.

This death cafe has art supplies to share or you can bring your own. Make something with your hands while the mind and heart meander 💜

Talk about death and dying and grief while in community with others. It's not a support group but it is supportive and will always have resources to share. And snacks! And 💜

4/20 is Sally Bailey day in our world, it was the day she left this plane. This little video is a reminder of why we do what we do here at Asphodel House.
Sally Louise Bailey …. Sure do miss you. Even though we smell you, hear you and feel you regularly at the house, it would be lovely to sit on the couch with you, have a cup of tea with you, eat some ice cream with you, laugh with you and most of all… talk with you about how we can do better.

I love you so much. Love always your stubborn Scorpio.

Next Saturday, April’s community education webinar!

Always Learning:
The Art of Caring for Our Dead

What do you get when a grief tender, a death care provider, a funeral director, and a celebrant join a zoom? Lots of why’s and how’s to community deathcare, mixed with a dash of dry humor, a handful of policy, and a bushel of stories.

Leilani, Lashanna, Michelle, and Tawnya met when they served on the board of the Home Funeral Alliance and have woven paths since. These four death practitioners, who all participate in community deathcare (differently), are excited to share with you some of the things they’ve learned along the way.

Community-led deathcare can be an act of radical love. It can be the financially accessible way. It can be an anti-capitalists’ last laugh at a system. It can be the way you’ve always done.

Join us to learn more about community deathcare in this era, and what it can be to you and the different communities to which you belong.

Saturday, April 18th
12-1:30pm PST on Zoom

We look forward to being in community and learning together.

Community care is the way through!

Sunday Mourning at Asphodel

Grieving in community can look like an open door, a cup of something warm, and a fire. No expectations, just presence.

Invitation

If you are a dreamer, come in
If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,
A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer...
If you’re a pretender, come sit by the fire
For we have some flax-golden tales to spin.
Come in!
Come in!
