Emily McKinley and I discuss the connections between death, fungi, and grief. We walk within the medicines of presence, connecting to death, regeneration, transformation, heart opening, forest bathing, and the importance of collective healing. Resources mentioned include Long Litt Woon's book The Way Through the Woods, Bodhi Be and Doorway Into Light, Stephen Jenkinson's book Die Wise, Grief Walker Documentary, and Martin Prechtel.

Emily McKinley is an artist, death doula, grief tender, and land steward. She lives in relationship with unceded Coast Salish lands and waters of northwestern Washington. Her work lies at the crossroads of grief, love, creative expression, regeneration, death, magic, and liberation for all beings. You can find her at emilyeoldoula@gmail.com or @emilyofthesea. She offers grief circle and collective and 1-on-1 death and grief support.
