Feeling like the conversation around death needs to be more expansive and not just concentrate on the end-of-life experience, but how mortality, the inherent cyclical nature of all things, and how we interact with the fact that we are finite, ephemeral beings, dictates how we live?
Excellent. You’re in the right place.
About
Death Practice Journal explores the weird alchemy of being alive while having the knowledge that someday you won’t be. We talk about the practical, spiritual, and philosophical facets of deathwork with creativity, deep curiosity, and brevity.
Meet the founder: Nora is a former photographer, art teacher, photo studio backdrop painter, and fancy bartender. Currently, she is a writer, herbalist, breathwork facilitator, and deathworker. This many-things-at-once skill can be traced back to her being a first-gen Algerian-American, quiet middle child, and daughter of an aggressively encouraging single mom.
She founded Death Practice Journal after getting certified as a Death Midwife and realizing that all her myriad jobs, trainings, and identities were leading her to deathwork all along. Her most recent project is Writing The End – a delightfully unhinged course on becoming a better writer, overcoming creative blocks, and exploring grief.
Nora lives in the desert southwest with her cactus-loving spouse and pizza-smuggling dog. When she is not tending her own grave or making limewash paints, she enjoys swimming in rivers and writing in the third person.
