DeathWalk - (Please read group description to get a full understanding of this event.) I am a death & end-of-life doula, in deathwork for the last nine years, and I'm inviting you to walk & talk with me for a lower price than my usual fees, in an effort to provide death & grief support in my community. TW: topics such as death, dying, infant loss, sudden death, cancer, pet loss, terminal illness, Medical Aid in Dying (MAiD), grief, and much more may arise in this group.
Limit 5 per walk*. If you require a helper to accompany you, please reach out. All are welcome! Mobility aids can be accommodated (wheelchair, scooter, etc) but bear in mind this is a walking group & plan accordingly. [If walking is outside your capabilities but you still need doula support, please don't hesitate to reach out!]
We will walk between Santa Monica & Venice, on a smooth & flat cement walkway. This walk will pass the Santa Monica Pier & there is a view of the ocean the entire walk. Anyone may turn around to leave the group at any time, as needed. The route is approximately 10,000 steps out & back if you walk the whole way, depending on your stride length.
PLEASE park in the 15 minutes before start time so no one is waiting - walk begins promptly at 6:30am. PLEASE wear sunscreen & appropriate footwear. PLEASE bring any items you may need such as water, sunglasses, a hat, layers, chapstick, etc. We want to be comfy & undistracted so conversation can flow!
DeathWalk is a group for discussion, support, guidance, Q & A, and especially listening to each other. It is also for those who may not be ready to talk yet but need community to support loss.
*5 person per walk limit is so that I can be attentive to every individual present & provide individual support & feedback during the time we have.
Let's get our steps in & get into it. ~m
