Sharing a song!
Do you know the Bengsons? An amazing soulful couple that created a grief musical called My Joy is Heavy.. Unfortunately unable to attend it as it took place in the US, but feeling so profoundly moved and joyful when listening to the theme song, I am sharing it with you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzhziV_b1lc It captured something that resonates deep for me, that when we do give space to our grief, we open up to the whole of our aliveness, and we don't need to choose either one of them, they can and need to coexist in our open broken hearts...

Celebrant for all kinds of life transitions - how to choose what to talk about?
I am a celebrant, offering bespoke ceremonies and rituals for small and big life transitions, from birth to death. That means that I am part of the death worker community but not only! I also cocreate rituals and ceremonies for other types of transitions. I am still at the beginning of my visibility process and I find it tricky to know where to start and what to address first in terms of all the potential life transitions that i ritualise. At the moment I feel very passionate about all things death and feel so supported to be part of this group with all the actions ideas shared, so it's very alive. Yet I feel unsure to start with this topic when my general offers and testimonials are not yet of the instagram page for example.. Another example, regarding the invitation to post our positioning statement, I feel stuck between trying to have a general one, or several more specific ones. Any advice? i'd be curious about your positioning statement(s) if you are in a similar situation? I quickly get overwhelmed by the many possibilities and then freeze and end up not taking action.. Anyone is in a similar field (or not) and would have some tips to share on how to get moving? @Amy Firth

🌻 Introduce Yourself...
It's so wonderful to see you all start to arrive - I feel like the excited/nervous party host who's spent way too long decorating and tidying... now it's time to exhale and receive the joy of you each arriving... :) Feel free to share a quick intro in the comments below... perhaps: where you're based, what you do & one main struggle you have with promoting your work/services... GO! x

Hey! So glad to be here. ❤️🔥🕸️🙏 I am based in Switzerland and work as a freelancer at La Lisière. La lisière is the space between 2 ecosystems, like forest and field for example. It's a very fertile place, that combines species from both ecosystems and its own specific ones. Just like the space between 2 stages of life, transitions are fertiles spaces! My work as a celebrant is to create bespoke rituals and ceremonies to mark these moments, small and big transitions, based on an intention that emerges by listening to the body. I have started 1,5 years ago and so far it's been by word of mouth. I thought that celebrating a funeral would come after many years in this work but i was invited to at the end of last year and it's been a revelation and an honour to be present at this time. I have also accompanied a peace and reconciliation ritual for a family who was in conflict with the person who died and were not invited at the official funeral. I would love to develop my offers and the challenge now is to find partnerships. I wrote to funeral salons and to palliative care places. And would love to share some of my experiences on social media or a blog and cant seem to find the courage and tone to do it.

Social Media: Let’s all find each other out there 🐦⬛
Death care content can feel like shouting into the void sometimes - especially in the early days, especially on platforms that don’t always love what we talk about. So let’s make it a little less lonely… Drop your handles below - Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, wherever you’re showing up - and let’s go find each other. Follow, engage, share what moves you. This is how we build something together. 🐦⬛ I’ll go first: Insta - https://www.instagram.com/amyfirthministry TT - https://www.tiktok.com/@aussiedeathcarelady Facebook - www.facebook.com/amyfirthmusic The Visible Death Worker: https://www.instagram.com/visibledeathworker https://www.tiktok.com/@visibledeathworker Amy x

Hey Amy and everyone! I am soooo grateful for this timely offering! I have been following your instagram for a few weeks and it's been very inspiring for me, your combination of warmth, sense of humour, and depth! It awoke in me the curiosity to come out more on social media so i welcome this community of learning with all my heart. Love from Switzerland Johanna
