Today we chat with Abby Lutz who joins us from her backyard in Colorado. Abby is a nurse, a death doula and a consciousness explorer. Abby is building her Death Dojo, a place where she explores death as a practice, a portal and a source of limitless possibility. We talk about fear and its enemy: exploration with wonder. Abby brings us through some experiences with patients crossing over, her own similar personal experience, carrying empathy in your toolbox, seeing death versus watching death, trees, the "loss-iness" of words, oppositional defiance disorder, space/seas/deserts, the Octopus and "preparing the others". A perfect chat amongst the trees.

Desserts and Death.
