Death as An Agent of Awakening; Grief, Loss, and Facing Impermanence with Jennifer Muir

In Episode 7 Jennifer Muir joins us to speak about tending grief, navigating loss, and death as an agent of awakening. Jennifer shares about her work as a death doula and grief tender, and about the experience of the sudden death of her husband while their daughter was an infant. And how this passage both ungrounded her and deepened her experience of life. We’ll speak about approaching death as a portal to the sacred and the role of storytelling to move us through the experience of grief. We contemplate what it would bring to our lives to be able to ground them into the reality that death and ageing are inevitable. Jennifer Muir, founder of Spiraling Heart Sanctuary, is a death care worker, grief tender, sound practitioner, circle facilitator, mother, and devotee of the path of the heart. Attuned to compassion, she aspires that her work in the world soften the stories that bind us, soothe fear and bring us into a more trusting relationship with life and death thereby relieving suffering for all beings in the ten directions and three times.
