Join us once a month for Threshold Circle: a welcoming space for exploring mortality, loss, and the thresholds we encounter in life. 

Awareness of mortality has the power to deepen our appreciation of life. Yet, many of us carry thoughts, experiences, and questions about death that we rarely share.

Threshold Circle is a welcoming space to explore these topics in community, free from fear or taboo. End-of-life doulas Alison Keller and Alyssa Walters invite you to join a monthly gathering for quiet reflection, open conversation, and the simple comfort of connecting over tea.

Some guidelines:

• You do not have to participate. This is a gentle environment, meaning you can participate to whatever degree you feel comfortable. You are welcome to share, simply listen, get up, move around, leave the room, or leave the meeting. 
• We are discussing vulnerable topics and will moderate to encourage cultural humility, and acceptance of the perspectives of others. Thusfar we have found people show up with a natural instinct for kindness and respect toward one another. 
• We will close the meeting with food and beverage so that you have an opportunity to mingle and relax after discussions. 

What is an end-of-life doula? You may have heard of a birth doula. End-of-life doulas, also known as death doulas or death midwives, provide practical, spiritual, and emotional support for people at the end of life. They are able to offer resources, tools, and guidance in an area of life that does not come with a user manual. They excel in compassionate care, listening, open mindedness, and acceptance and offer those qualities to support and smooth the labor of death for those who are dying and their loved ones.

If you have more specific questions on what we offer, how to become a death doula, or how to find resources and support for yourself or a loved one, please do not hesitate to reach out to either of us.
