Launching Agents of Transformation Series: Partnering with Death and Grief, with Melody LeBaron and Sarah Kerr

Introducing the Agents of Transformation Series:

Decades ago, I realized that my work transforming my clients spaces was correspondingly also transforming their lives.  The more clear and open and spacious their homes and workspaces, the easier it became for new opportunities and relationships to find them.  I also learned that clients who were holding the most clutter were also holding the most un-integrated grief, and when we released the trauma from the body and environment and integrated and made meaning of the loss, their life transformed exponentially.

In 2020, as I rebranded from Transforming Space + Self to Transforming Space + Self + Loss, I felt a longing to bring you, my community, into relationship with my mentors and colleagues who are also on the leading edge of transforming loss.  These men and women I’ll be interviewing are teachers of Truth.  They each hold an expansive perspective on life and the ability to (in the words of Joanna Macy) “hospice the death of our current paradigm and midwife the culture that is being born.”  I hope you’ll enjoy getting to know and learn from these amazing leaders.

Sarah Kerr, a ritual healing practitioner and death doula, helps her clients integrate death, grief and loss through the lens of ritual, which marks the transition from one state to another.  Her work, which draws on ancient wisdom, nature-based spirituality, sacred sciences and the richness of the human soul, supports the living, the dying and the dead. She facilitates private and public healing rituals, and regularly presents on topics of death midwifery and holistic death care. Sarah has a PhD in Transformative Learning, and a Master’s degree in Environmental Studies and a background in social justice work.
