Peacing Out

Come remember what you love about life.

Room by room, block by block, relationships and interactions, body and self, environment and atmosphere - what do you love about life?

Take a break from consuming information outside, and feel in - what is LOVE highlighting for you?

At a time of so much suffering on our planet, what would it feel like to come back to what you love? Not in a way that bypasses the realities, but in a way that guides us to uncover what we cherish, what we want to hold, to advocate for, to activate, to nurture.

❤️ When working with people at the end of life, it always comes back to what is loved.
❤️ When hosting death cafes to talk about our mortality, it always comes back to love.
❤️ When we do end-of-life planning, it always boils down to a conversion on what people love.

The LOVE Meeting: A Death meditation and Workshop

Feel your aliveness
Document your new vision

June 15, 7:30-9:30
Brooklyn Arts Exchange

(And for my hometown folks - Will be sharing in Winnipeg in July - details to come!)

Proof of aliveness! Thanks to my almost-four year old for getting me out early and into the sun this morning.

I talk about life a lot but can sometimes forget my own living. Thank you Metta, for putting my face in the sun this morning! ❤️

So moved by every piece in Geographies of Distance: Remembering Home.

Remembering Home! 💔 I can feel the weight of every single one, capturing time and distance in such a visceral way. So grateful for artists! Handles at the bottom.

Geographies of Distance: Remembering Home is curated by Dr. Amin Jaffer and bringing together the works of Alwar Balasubramaniam, Asim Waqif, Ranjani Shettar, Skarma Sonam Tashi, and Sumakshi Singh for the India Pavilion in Venice.

REPOST• For those whose lives are shaped by distance, home becomes less a fixed place than a portable condition: part memory, part material, part ritual, and part personal mythology. Through soil, thread, bamboo, papier-mâché, suspended forms and acts of remembering, these five artists reflect on migration, ecology, architecture, belonging, and the emotional landscapes we continue to carry across time and distance.

Curated by Dr. Amin Jaffer, Geographies of Distance: Remembering Home brings together the works of Alwar Balasubramaniam, Asim Waqif, Ranjani Shettar, Skarma Sonam Tashi, and Sumakshi Singh.

Commissioned by the Ministry of Culture, Government of India, in partnership with the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre and the Serendipity Arts Foundation, the National Pavilion of India is now open at the Arsenale di Venezia for the 61st International Art Exhibition — La Biennale di Venezia.

Grief in Public Day, 2026 ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

This felt SO good to do. So many people came through and shared their grief - with rocks, with me, with each other. It was so beautiful, and it was so powerful. To see and be seen in these times. Together, we built a ring of love, creating a public memorial - thank you for coming!

WE NEED THIS! So many people were so grateful for the opportunity to share. We need opportunities to grieve together.

Thank you for the park for holding it all! Will not wait a whole year to do this again!

Shoutout to for the beautiful sign!

As a part of Grief in Public Day, this Sunday, April 26, from 11AM - 2PM, we’ll be Moving Rocks at the Lincoln Rd entrance to Prospect Park.

Come share what you’ve been carrying alone. Give your grief to a rock.

Name it. Hold it. Move it. Offer it.
Let’s be in our grief, together.

While the process of accessing Medical Aid in Dying (MAID) may be clinical, the journey to receive support and care should never be.

The path to making this choice is not always easy, and it deserves compassion, dignity, and wholehearted support every step of the way.

On February 6, 2026, Governor Kathy Hochul signed the Medical Aid in Dying Act into law, making New York the 14th U.S. jurisdiction to legalize Death with Dignity. The law will take effect on August 5, 2026.

This milestone comes after more than a decade of tireless advocacy by New Yorkers living with terminal illnesses, grieving families, clinicians, and supporters across the state. Twenty-nine advocates died while waiting for MAID to become legal and accessible. We are deeply grateful for the energy, courage, and unwavering belief they brought to this movement for choice, dignity, and compassionate care. Thank you for your advocacy.

This legislation marks a significant step forward in protecting freedom of choice in end-of-life care. At the same time, the finalized 2026 New York law remains highly restrictive compared to some international models (see slide outlining New York State “guardrails” for details). Continued advocacy will be essential to ensure access for those living with prolonged, debilitating illness, as the six-month prognosis requirement and self-administration provision may limit eligibility. The choice to avoid a prolonged and unwanted dying process should belong to the individual.

Whether you are considering MAID or navigating a terminal diagnosis, you deserve comprehensive, compassionate care at life’s most sacred threshold.
