Death is uncomfortable and ugly. But we cannot birth our new selves without talking about what needs to die and getting really creative and skillful about how we channel our grief into a life-giving kind of dying.

This week we explore the surprising ways in which pleasure, grief, death and hope are intimately intertwined.

Join me and an intimate group of brave humans in learning how to use pleasure to expand our capacity to hold grief in my upcoming course Happy Endings.

This is a 7-week somatic training experience that will give you new tools to encounter the pain, anger and overwhelm in your personal and collective life. Come learn new survival skills for a world that feels like it’s so often coming….to its end.

When: Thursday at 17:00-19:00GMT, starting February 19, 2026

Where: Zoom + online community environment + private Telegram group
