Weave in Ends: coaching circle for well-tended endings
"seeing the end of your life is the birth of your ability to love being alive" - Stephen Jenkinson
Are you ready to resolve unfinished business and release the limiting belief that there will always be more time? Are you ready to say Yes! to what matters most and reclaim your capacity for present-centered living?
Weave in Ends Coaching Circle for Well-tended Endings is a seven-session, virtual, program that invites adults of all ages and in all stages of living and dying, into deep conversation and practice with death so we can grow our capacity and resources to live and die honorably – with intention and integrity.
Whether we are aging with a terminal illness or in good health with an expected long life ahead, none of us know exactly when or how we will die. In our most astute moments, however, we remember that death is a fate that awaits us all, and that time is in fact limited.
Deep consideration of this foundational element of humanity - imminent death and awareness of it - opens us up to a sort of magic, capable of stripping away all that is distracting, peripheral, and beyond our control while bringing to the center of consciousness all that remains raw, incomplete or out of alignment with our core values named and unnamed.
In this coaching program, we will:
- enter brave space together and engage with patterns of overwhelm, inaction, and avoidance around the topics of death and endings
- turn towards death and endings with curiosity, deep listening and willingness to respond.
- choose an ending we'd like to explore (i.e. end of life, end of a relationship, end of a job)
- create a holistic restorative action plan that specifies how we will move to and through that ending with intention and alignment with our values.
- practice taking our next right steps, celebrating our efforts and responding as our plans unfold in real time, and
- encourage each other toward relief and restoration.
This group is facilitated by artist and healer, Lisa Cheney-Philp.

Ripple Effects

"Working with Lisa has initiated huge changes in my days, because creating a death plan actually felt like committing to a more sincere, wholistic, purposeful path toward life. She helped me become clear on what is important for the time I have left in this world and since none of us ever know how long that will be, I realized that there was so much I had been waiting to do for some unforeseeable time in the future. Our sessions helped me to understand how much I had been holding back due to fear, insecurities and/or the assumption that there would always be more time. But the idea of "more time" quickly became an illusion during our work together, and the reality of life's preciousness stood in its place instead. Lisa is an extremely patient, compassionate and wise woman, whom I felt entirely comfortable opening up to and being guided by. I'm so grateful she is offering this deeply necessary, rich service to the world, and recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone longing to live a more full and fulfilling life.
