Room for Dying Offerings
At my West Palm Beach studio nestled within Treefall, and other locations in Palm Beach County, I offer two distinct experiences for exploring death and dying: The Obituary and Death Cafe. Both invite meaningful reflection, but they differ in structure, setting, and purpose. To learn more about why I created Room for Dying, please read this introduction.
The Obituary: A Guided Reflective Writing Experience
The Obituary is a private, creative offering held in my studio at Treefall. The Obituary is by appointment only. It invites individuals—or small groups—to engage in a reflective process, using the structure of an obituary to explore identity, loss, transition, and legacy.
This is a guided experience that may serve as a personal ritual, a release, or a creative act of meaning-making.

Death Cafe: Conversation Without an Agenda
Death Cafe is a group-directed conversation held in a relaxed and respectful setting various locations throughout Palm Beach County. It provides a space where people—often strangers—can come together to talk openly about death, with no agenda, no objectives, and no conclusions.
As an End-of-Life Doula and a death awareness advocate, I host these gatherings as part of Room for Dying, my ongoing studio project that explores how we prepare for, engage with, and integrate the reality of death in modern life.
Location: Various (See Eventbrite page)
