Lay down your grief and rest a moment, led by women and women invited.
Let’s let the weight we hold for grief rest a while and have a grief rest stop.
Meet with Adrianna, aka Lady Death Doula, a death doula and grief educator, and Esné, a clinical hypnotherapist and reiki practitioner, both who want to share resources and tools for you to metabolize your grief and help find ways to shed some of the heaviness that comes with grief.
BYOB (bring your own blanket or pillow if you like)
Electric fireplace and lit by candlelight for extra coziness
Gentle grief release meditation with reiki
Hot cup of chocolate or tea (for grounding)
What to expect:
1st hour: build a blanket fort with your fellow grievers and go through the storytelling of your loss; share where you are at in your grief journey and what/who/where you are grieving. And an introduction into Emotional Freedom Tapping (EFT) as a grief support tool led by Esné to ground into the space and the meditation.
2nd hour: 40 minute guided meditation on releasing grief led by Adrianna; as Esné our reiki practitioner moves around the room while people relax and release sounds or movement they feel will help their grief release.
Last 20 minutes: debrief, ground with tea or hot chocolate

Your facilitators:
Esné is Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist and Somatic Practitioner who offers grounded, practical sessions focused on revealing and healing the subconscious self – otherwise known as the ‘shadow’. Using modalities such as Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), channeling and hypnosis, she guides sensitive people to heal old patterns and traumas, and embark on a new chapter of spiritual evolution. Esné is a twice-certified Master in traditional and modern Usui Reiki, and practices shamanic energy work, in combination with Master Plant dieta retreats in the Peruvian Amazon. Esné has ongoing training with the Amazonian jungle ‘Master Plants’ within the context of the Shipibo shamanic tradition. She facilitates Ayahuasca retreats within Peru and abroad. Additionally, she is deepening her work with the subconscious at the Institute of Interpersonal Hypnotherapy, licensed by the Department of Education in the US, as she is a recent graduate as a Certified Transpersonal Hypnotherapist program.

Adrianna Prosser, aka Lady Death Doula, Death Doula and Grief Educator
You might have seen Adrianna on CTV’s The Social as a special guest talking about the Death Positive Movement, or heard her on CBC Radio One across the country talking about grief and bereavement, or in Canadian Business Magazine as a death industry disruptor, or liked one of her TikTok videos sharing her journey as a Death Doula. Adrianna’s brother Andrew died by suicide in 2010 and his death catipulated her life into death work and mental health advocacy: she became a suicide awareness trainer and interventionist. She toured her one-woman show Everything But the Cat… for 10 years about suicide loss and bereavement, utilizing her storytelling background to create inclusive space to open a dialogue around death and dying. In 2019 Adrianna’s coworker Roberta asked if she wanted to go to Disneyland and South Korea to celebrate getting off chemo for stage four breast cancer; Roberta had a year to live and wanted a companion to get through her bucketlist and of course Adrianna said yes and embraced being a Death Doula for her friend. Holding liminal space and being comfortable in the discomfort has led Adrianna to become a hospice volunteer and grief counselor. She is currently in a fast-tracked Bachelor’s of Social Work to become a grief therapist to complement all the training she has done as a death worker. Her practice is anti-oppressive, radically feminist, and magically authentic to ensure she centers her companions where they are at on their care journey.
