2025 Ninefold Festival- Presenters & Workshops
Robin Corak (End of Life Doula)
Incorporating her training as an End of Life Doula, research on Celtic death and funeral practices, and principles of the Avalonian cycle and goddesses, Robin will lead participants in a workshop which offers a powerful method for understanding and grieving our shadows as well as envisioning a life without them. Workshop topics include:
- How death doula practices can be used in a process of letting go what no longer serves us;
- Information about how the Celts approached death and honoring the deceased;
- Exploration of how each of the goddesses in the Avalonian tradition can help us to better understand the purpose of our shadows and craft a ritual for honoring and releasing them;
- Looking at the alignment between the Avalonian cycles and the stages of death from a death doula’s perspective. (Trigger warning for discussions of physical death and loss)
Participants Need To Bring: Something to take notes with. If you have any symbols or herbs to reflect the shadow issue you are working on that may be helpful, but is optional.
