Opening to the Joys of Life, Death, and Grief

Remembering ways of being with grief and death that free us to be more joyful, loving, and fully alive.

Opening to the Medicine of GRIEF

Grief is innately alchemizing. The work of grief is to surrender to all that grief asks of us, to be fully present with a reality we did not want or ask for. We do this by learning to open to the raw energies of grief and the liminal space. Grief support allows you to be transformed while honoring who/what you have loved and lost.

Engaging with DEATH and Aliveness

Death is an inevitable aspect of life. It can bring incredible grief and loss, and it offers a chance to meet life more openly—with love and aliveness. Death doula support can help you navigate the practical needs of end-of-life while creating space to receive its deeper grace.

 Meet Mikyö

Mikyö Black-Wangmo lives their life in devotion to meeting life, death, and grief as a pathway to freedom and Essence. 

As a grief coach, death doula, facilitator, educator, and somatic practitioner, Mikyö brings deeply cultivated presence in service to the empowerment of those they work with. They are a student of the Elements and Natural world, their indigenous mexican and more-than-human Ancestors, of Grief and Death, and of their esoteric teachers and lineages. 

Their positionality as a queer, 2 spirit, indigenous PoC, transracial adoptee allows them the privilege to exist and work within and beyond the systems of oppression and cultural conditioning we all live in and are affected by.

Mikyö is dedicated to becoming more free, alive, and wildly joyful in service to love and life, and in supporting others to do the same.
