What unknown potential exists in the liminal space, the veil between birth and death, where magic resides and potential is unlimited? How do we navigate with courage and surrender to these waves of energy, which can take us to the far shadow edges of ourselves we’ve never before seen? What would it be like to invite all of the parts of our inner selves to a communion table, where we can tend to our own integration and wholeness?
As a nurse, I have found myself present at the bedside of the human experiences of birth, death, and the in-between. This mystery of this medicine space has called me home to myself, again and again, and initiated me as a psychopomp and lifecycle celebrant.
