Meeting Death:

A Spiral Journey into Mortality and Meaning

September ‘25 Virtual Program

What if meeting death could open the door to truly living?

Death is not the enemy

We live in a culture that hides it, fears it, sterilizes it.

But within the fear of death lives the invitation to presence, truth, and depth.

This journey is for those who are ready to turn toward death, not to fix it, but to be changed by what it reveals.

Whether you’re facing your own mortality, grieving someone you love, preparing to support others, or simply ready to live more fully… this spiral is for you.

We spend so much time avoiding it—yet death is the one truth we all share.

This is not a program about dying.

It’s a sacred invitation to befriend impermanence, to walk with grief and awe, and to live with nothing left unsaid.

Over 6 Months You Will

  • you’ve been taught to push away

  • and without shame.

  • beyond time or title.

  • and less regret

  • of meeting the mystery.

This is a soulful, cyclical journey through the Spiral Way stages: Descent, Source Memory, Emergence, and Communion. Each stage is aligned with a different facet of mortality.

We start in September, time TBD based on group preference.

The Spiral Is For You If

  • You’ve felt a subtle or loud fear of dying

  • You want to face loss with more grace and less panic

  • You feel stuck in grief that hasn’t had space to move

  • You’re a seeker, caregiver, or death doula craving ritual

  • You want to live more fully, not someday, but now

This is Not:

  • A substitution for therapy

  • A religious dogma or end-of-life prep course

  • A bypass of real, raw grief

  • A fix or formula for mortality

    This is a living, breathing path to be in right relationship with what ends.

You were never meant to face death alone.

Let us sit with you.
Let us breathe together.
Let us remember what it means to live like life is sacred.

Enrollment now open. Limited spots to ensure intimacy.

Eileen Grimes - Loved As You Are Founder and Spiral Guide

“I created this program because I believe that death is not the opposite of life; it’s what gives it shape, weight, and meaning. The Spiral Way invites us to walk beside death not in dread, but with reverence. Not to conquer it, but to learn how to live better because of it.”

This is your invitation to live like it matters.

To love like it ends.

To create an ending…so you can finally begin.

What people are saying:

“This is warrior work.”
