You

Why work with Death and Eros?

How will doing so aid the potent moment of change you are standing at right now?

Death, simply means an ending of any kind.

Sometimes it is the passing of a loved one, but it can also be the ending of a version of self, a relationship, a way of being in the world.

Eros, in this context, is not about sensuality or sexuality - but is about the rising essence of creation that inevitably comes after we have sat in the ashes.

And it is Eros that propels us forward.

Death and Eros, Stillness and Immersion, Fire and Ether - old companions bound together through time and space to help us come into fullness.

Death as Initiator

Death initiates through dissolution.

It strips away illusion, identity, and form, the masks we cling to. Death is the initiator because it ushers us across thresholds, compelling surrender to the mystery. In that surrender, ego dies and something more essential is revealed.

Death’s initiation is the great unbinding. It teaches impermanence, humility, and truth. It breaks the false self so that the soul can be reborn.

Eros as Awakener

Eros is the force that stirs life after the fall.

It is the divine pulse that awakens us beyond the ashes, the current of desire, connection, and creation that calls us back into intimate relationship with life itself.

Eros reanimates the soul into embodiment, inviting us to once again move, feel, and create within the sacred dance of existence.

If Death says, “Let go,”

Eros whispers, “Now awaken.”

If Death empties you,

Eros fills you

with breath and fire.

The setup includes candles, tarot cards with fiery designs, plants, flowers, and decorative items arranged on the floor on a large rug. The background features a stone fireplace and hanging fabric decorations in neutral tones.

Growing up, I always felt a deep connection to the dead. For much of my life, I didn’t understand why that connection existed or what it was asking of me.

Decades later, through the endings of two profound relationships and the death of a loved one, I was initiated into my purpose: to serve as a ferryman for those seeking guidance through their own passages at the crossroads.

Rooted in my ongoing study of Tibetan Buddhist traditions, my maternal lineage’s ancestral relationship with Kali Amman, and a life lived across three continents, my work ferries others through the liminal spaces of grief, death, and rebirth. Using ritual and embodied practice, I bridge the spiritual and the tangible—helping anchor the sacred into the everyday rhythms of relationship and life.

My path has been shaped and supported by my guides, Amir Khalighi of Embodied Masculine and Kai Karrel of the Umbandaime Church of Celestial Heart.
