- Vision Planning
Often the weight of end-of-life planning and the fear that surrounds it prevents us from looking more deeply into what would give the most meaning at the end of life. The best time to take this action is well before we need a plan. Our Legacy Vision Planning service is a tool designed to help you identify and plan for what is inevitable for us all. Utilizing "The Best Three Months" planning tool developed by Tarron Estes and the Conscious Dying Institute helps us to identify preferences for end-of-life care in a multi-dimensional exploration of the spiritual, emotional, mental, physical, and practical life realms that shape the threshold of death in ways that will honor personal preferences foremost. This approach goes beyond traditional medical care. In this process, we will identify what matters most and the actionable steps needed to be undertaken, from making a will, appointing a POA, or speaking with your medical team about medical directives, to identifying the music that brings you most comfort. This personalized approach aims to restore death to its natural place as a bookend to life allowing a deeper exploration of what brings comfort and solace to each person, fostering a sense of sovereignty and peace during this profound threshold. Schedule a discovery call today to get more information, or book now to get started. This service is typically carried out in 5 sessions. Each session will be scheduled individually online or in person.

- Bespoke Urns
I heard the word 'bespoke' recently and felt drawn to how its meaning encapsulated the vision for the bereaved to participate in the design and creation process of making custom urns, only to find this word has been over-used and misappropriated in the modern context of marketing. In the not-so-distant past, before death became an industry, crafting a container for a loved one's remains was a final act, a labor of love, perhaps even part of how one grieved. While 'bespoke' is a term originating from a custom between clothing designers and their customers to convey a level of craftsmanship and trust that allowed the designer to create clothing 'as spoken' to them by their client, a 'bespoke urn' or memorial can also speak for you, in its truest sense telling the story in clay as guided by your words and my skill. Working together in the studio, one-on-one, or a group project with friends and family members, there are infinite ways to create your bespoke treasure. No matter your skill level, you can embrace your creativity and let loose your imagination as you embark on a guided journey of self-expression in clay, fostering a sense of togetherness and support during this challenging time. I have experienced clay as a uniquely visceral process to grieve and celebrate loss and to contemplate mortality and the fleeting experience that life is, all that is joyful and sorrowful. Don't be afraid of death, of grief, of how long it's been! Every journey is unique. Martin Prechtel says, "Grief is praise because it is the natural way love honors what it misses." Just as there is beauty in a woven basket or wooden casket lovingly crafted by hand, I invite you to join me in my studio for a bespoke experience, creating a treasured clay urn that holds the story waiting to be told.
