EKR México Centro – evolving our death culture

Inspired by the work and deeds of Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, we aim to evolve our death culture and bring humanity back to our loss, grief, dying, and end-of-life processes.

ONLINE COURSES

Compassionate Accompaniment & Death Doula Work

A Compassionate Accompaniment is a state of being, a lifestyle, a spiritual practice, a natural human impulse, and a grossly untapped human potential. A Death Doula is a compassionate companion, supporter, advocate, assistant to any person ready and willing to contemplate loss, grief, death and the natural cycles of living and dying in order to live a fuller, more meaningful life to its most peaceful end.

Reimagining Death

We embark on an experiential journey to meet other perspectives. We contact the worldviews and cosmovisions of various original peoples to learn about and explore other ideas about living, grieving, dying, and beyond.

We enter a journey through the maps that have bequeathed us the ancestral knowledge of the original peoples of the Americas, the Egyptian vision, the peoples of northern Europe, Tibetan and many more ancient traditions.

The Art of a Good Death

We find out what gets in the way of living more fully and thus having a good death through playful, contemplative, practical approaches that help physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually to live more consciously and intentionally, and to be prepared to stay present when facing losses, those of each day, and those of our loved ones, and to feel thoroughly prepared for our own death.

PROJECTS

Green Burial for Reforestation

Green burial is a way of caring for our dead with minimal environmental impact that contributes to the conservation of natural resources, the reduction of carbon emissions, the protection of the health of workers in the death industry, and restoration and preservation of the environment.

CONSCIOUSNESS RAISING EVENTS

Preparing for a Thoughtful Death

When we contemplate and mindfully prepare for a good death, we are committing to more fully living a a good life. Join us and uncover what gets in the way of your good death. Explore and experience playful and practical approaches that help us mentally, emotionally, and spiritually feel prepared to stay present through the loss of our loved ones and feel prepared for our own death.

Death Café conversations

At a Death Café, people—often strangers—gather to eat cake, drink tea or coffee, and discuss death with the intention of increasing awareness of mortality and help people make the most of their finite lives. Join us as we transform our relationship to aging, mortality, dying and death, so we may transform also the way we live, one conversation at a time.

Dä'thä over Dinner conversations

Dä’thä in our regional Otomí language means “the long sleep,” death. Join us for one of these amazing cultural, historical, practical, dynamic, experiential Death over Dinner events where we combine ancestral gastronomy, pre-hispanic astronomy, Mesoamerican cosmology, the death positive movement, Elisabeth’s and our contribution to the evolution of our death culture, Death-Over-Dinner style.
