What actuallhttps://www.hjertehagen.nety happens in a shamanic journey, and can it really shift the way we experience grief?
In this episode of Comforting Closure - Conversations with a Death Doula, Traci Arieli looks at the role of shamanism in grief, death, and the unknown. Joined by Lisa Cox, a death midwife and shamanic practitioner, this conversation looks at shamanism as a grounded, experiential practice rather than something abstract or performative.
Together, they discuss what a shamanic journey is, how it differs from meditation or visualization, and why direct experience can change the way we hold grief. The episode also explores the role of ancestry, anticipatory grief, and how engaging with non-ordinary reality can change our relationship with death.
If you are navigating grief, working in end-of-life care, or simply curious about how we relate to death and what may lie beyond it, this episode offers a grounded and thoughtful place to begin.
