This week at A Sacred Passing's

A Place to Die

We are flirting with the worthy effort of weekly /biweekly updates... this is our start!

 
 

A the beginning of the month, Sally's close friends and beloved family placed her ashes around the apple trees in the back yard. We were honoured to have celebrant Danna Schmidt guide us with just the right words and a reading of Sally's favourite poem,

To Be Of Use, by Marge Percy.


 
 
 
 

Around the House


Y'all We have made much progress the past few weeks around the house. We are readying the space for guests to die, small gatherings, classes, day retreats. The house is real and so are the bills, so we are also dreaming and creating ways for the home to be financially self sustainable - and we welcome you to join us in these opportunities for manifestation, creation, partnership and collaboration.

 

The back deck is now ready for us to sit and gather outside in comfortable seats and around a small fire place.

Sitting at the outdoor table for reading, a meal, art, and a meeting have all been delightful experiences

We welcomed the donation of a beautiful claw foot tub to the backyard. Plans are to find a beautiful spot in the yard, give it a solid foundation, a privacy fence and ready it for outdoor cold herbal soaks.

There was something about the memory of play and make-believe of her 3 year old life, that Sally loved. Play continued to be a friend of hers on her best days. Ensuring the space is multigenerational has been a thread of joy.

The living room is home to a large powder blue couch and some additional spaces to sit and gather. This space will also hold grief groups, workshops, dinners while we do not have guests in the space.
