During childhood, we move through the world with curiosity and fearlessness of the unknown and near-endings. As we become more institutionalised within the dominant culture, we begin to embody harmful anti-ageing values which are rooted in a crippling fear of the inevitable - death. How then can practicing death in our lives help us re-experience endings and letting go as crucial pathways to living more freely within the wider death-positive ecosystem?
In this episode, we are in conversation with Pamela Rathbun, a Death Doula and Quantum Healing Practitioner, and the creator of Reunion Tour: Making Peace with Your Life. With a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology and over 25 years of experience in education, elder care, and integrative healing, she supports people through life’s most meaningful transitions—helping them reconnect with themselves and make peace with their lives.
In this episode, Pamela walks us through the expansiveness of death doula work, more as a spiritual journey through the various endings in our lives rather than the physical transition, and the many ways we can experience and practice death in our living lives, regardless of age or stage in life.
