Let’s Talk About Death

Hosted by End of Life Doula Veronica Mosqueda from Conscious Dying / Muerte Consciente


Join Veronica Mosqueda—a bilingual death worker, community organizer, Mexican immigrant, urban farmer, and founder of Conscious Dying / Muerte Consciente—for a healing residency centered on death, dying, and grief. You’ll be invited into a compassionate, judgment-free space where you can practice curiosity, embrace vulnerability, and deepen your capacity to be present with grief—both your own and that of the people you love.

Through a public Death Cafe, you’ll take part in an open, casual, community-created conversation about death and what it means to live fully. In small-group sessions drawn from Veronica’s Grief in Action curriculum, you’ll explore how illness, death, violence, shame, and oppression shape the ways we grieve. Grounded in liberation and guided by trauma-informed, culturally responsive practices, these workshops will help you discover what becomes possible when grief is no longer carried alone. Come learn how we can face loss more honestly, support one another more intentionally, and begin to carry and transform grief together.


After the workshop, join Veronica for smaller sessions: Small Group Sessions
