Begin the process of cultivating a more harmonious relationship with death and dying — your own and those you may care for — to anchor yourself firmly in the present moment and live more vibrantly and authentically.

Explore wisdom, rituals, and profound tools around death and dying across a variety of cultures so you can examine your own existential anxieties about mortality and live a more fulfilling and purposeful life.

Anxiety around death and the impermanence of life can often overshadow the joy of living and keep us from fully embracing life’s precious moments.

These common and sometimes paralyzing fears are often seated in the general unwillingness in our Western culture to discuss or even acknowledge that death is a part of life — making it a dark and sorrow-filled subject.

The fear of death, which can manifest as unresolved anxieties, can create emotional and psychological barriers that often lead to more turbulent end-of-life transitions.

These barriers can also limit us from living life to the fullest — with an undercurrent of dread about never seeing our beloveds again, and the anxiety and uncertainty of ceasing to exist in our corporeal form.

Instead of fully embracing the richness and beauty of life, we live in denial, only scratching the surface of our existence, wasting away the precious moments of our lives as though we have all the time in the world.

If you’re like many, you may experience occasional — or even chronic — states of existential unrest. Broadening your spiritual perspective can help make your life more meaningful, fulfilling, and happy.

Drawing on decades of cultivated wisdom and experience,  end-of-life practitioner Dr. Andrea Deerheart will help you identify the origin of your fears, redefine your personal death myths, and transform your relationship with mortality to one of harmony and acceptance.

As you do, you’ll develop a heightened, moment-by-moment appreciation for your experiences and embrace the inherent sanctity of each moment — freeing you up to live more fully.

Dr. Deerheart has devoted nearly four decades of her life to serving the dying and their loved ones as a hospice volunteer, social worker, end-of-life practitioner, and death doula.

She earned masters’ degrees in counseling psychology and mythology with an emphasis in depth psychology. She’s authored many books on the subject and is the founder of The HeartWay — a nonprofit foundation dedicated to embracing life through honoring death.

Her pioneering work draws on thhe wisdom she’s gathered while providing loving care and healing to those on the journey of conscious living and dying.

Join her in a powerful online event in which she’ll explore how your personal and cultural perspectives have shaped your approach to and attitude about life and death.

She’ll lead you through the rich tapestry of beliefs and practices surrounding death and the afterlife across various societies and historical periods, and delve into how different cultures have understood and ritualized the end of life.

This will prepare you to begin redefining your personal death myth and broaden your spiritual perspective — providing you with a foundation to start moving away from fear and toward a liberated outlook on the journey of dying.

Dr. Deerheart will guide you through a deep journey of self-reflection designed to connect you with your life’s priorities while contemplating the reality of death. This visualization serves as a compassionate space to explore what truly matters in your life and how you can live with greater meaning and purpose. The focus of the practice is to help you identify the goals and relationships that bring depth and meaning to your existence.

During this nourishing event, you’ll:

  • Gain a broader understanding of the concept of death across cultures and explore how your personal belief system may be contributing to a sense of grief, anxiety, and general stuckness
  • Start redefining your personal myth around death and dying and pave the way forward to shift from fear to a more liberated perspective
  • Experience a guided visualization as a tool for emotional and spiritual healing — creating space to process fear, anxiety, or unresolved feelings surrounding death and focus on creating a more meaningful life
  • Understand that when you start overcoming your fears associated with death, you can unlock a renewed sense of vitality and purpose — enabling you to live courageously in the now
  • Learn that when you become comfortable with your own mortality, you can make better decisions about your own end-of-life experience — and help others experience more peaceful transitions

Dr. Deerheart’s goal is to help you feel more grounded and present, with a heightened sense of peace, love, and appreciation for the life you’re living now — while empowering yourself to make decisions that enhance your wellbeing and foster a peaceful relationship with death.

This hour is bound to stimulate your curiosity around death, and encourage you to explore the journey of dying in a way that feels both safe and transformative for you.

When you heal your personal fears and wounds — removing internalized barriers to embracing the death and dying process — you’ll also be better able to support others — your loved ones or as a professional caregiver — on their end-of-life journeys.

When you attend this workshop, you’ll also be among the first to hear about Dr. Deerheart’s new 7-week live video course, in which you’ll be immersed in wisdom and powerful tools (including the ancient practice of yoga nidra) that can help you confront your own mortality and, in doing so, unlock a more vibrant, meaningful, and compassionate way of living.

It’s a journey that will provide you with invaluable insights and practical skills for embracing a harmonious relationship with death, enabling you to navigate life’s challenges with grace and courage.

What People Are Saying About Dr. Andrea Deerheart, PhD...

“The content Dr. Deerheart shares in class is invaluable...”
The content Dr. Deerheart shares in class is invaluable, yet to see her live and make decisions in alignment with her values is perhaps the biggest gift of all. I hate the saying do as I say, not as I do! She proves it is possible to hold to personal ideals. In the end, I am reminded that it is easy to stick to the ideals. The challenge truly comes when one gives into considering compromising one’s ideas in hopes that something good can still come of it. Thank you for that beautiful lesson.

“I now live life with far greater joy, depth, and spontaneity.”
Meeting Andrea Deerheart was a gift from God. Prior to Andrea, I was stuck in chronic grief and fear of death — my own death, and the death of others. I avoided death like the plague. Andrea taught me that life and death are intimately connected, and thus to live life fully, one must embrace death. I chose to listen. I now live life with far greater joy, depth, and spontaneity. Thank you Andrea, from the bottom of my heart!
