Conversations with a Death Doula - Walking with our Mortality with Wilka Roig
Jun 08, 2023

What does a death doula really see at the threshold between life and death?
In this extraordinary conversation, Wilka Roig — transpersonal psychologist, death doula, grief counsellor, dream worker and educator — offers a profound exploration of mortality, transition, and what it means to live fully by relating consciously to death.

Drawing on her background in transpersonal psychology, Mexican traditional healing, Tibetan Buddhist perspectives, and years of sitting at the bedside of the dying, Wilka illuminates the emotional, spiritual, and archetypal dimensions of dying. We explore how preparing for death enriches life, why Western culture struggles with mortality, and how a death doula supports the human soul through one of its most meaningful passages.

In this episode, we discuss:
– What a death doula actually does — and why this role is emerging globally
– Why modern society is so disconnected from death
– How grief, identity shifts, and life transitions mirror the death process
– How beliefs and worldview shape the way we meet our mortality
– Practical ways to relate to death consciously and live more fully
– Dreams, altered states, and intuitive knowing at the end of life
– Integrating Curanderismo, Tibetan Buddhism and transpersonal psychology
– How to support yourself or a loved one approaching the end of life
