Later in my teen years I became angry, moody and depressed.

She was a matriarch in the truest sense thru loving and encouraging children. She taught me how to cook, garden and pray, and most importantly how to be a good ancestor by being present with others. She died when I was 22 years old, a few weeks after my college graduation and her 99th birthday. Our relationship continues thru the veil. I've also been guided and supported by a wide host of teachers, aunts, cousins, friends, podcasts, books and experiences, as well as my own dreamtime and connection with ancestors. The watchful eye of panther, the listening of owl, the fortitude of stone, and flow of water are a few of the lessons I’ve learned from our more-than-human kin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600dd6182c69ea16574d01ce/78470afc-34ad-4d77-b9e9-d406b4753c2f/andrea-2025.jpg Meet Andrea - Some of my identities include: Death & Grief Doula Certified, Clinical Hypnotherapist Psychopomp Hoodoo Diviner & channeler Spiritual Companion Podcaster Storyteller Digital Preservationist Bio-inspired Burgeoning Crone Seed Sower Composter Collapsatarian Mountain Black Tourmaline Heart Spiritual Warrior Facilitator Star Worker Abolitionist Artist Writer Dreamer Capricorn Sun Virgo Moon Highly Sensitive Person Introvert https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600dd6182c69ea16574d01ce/8f92dac9-3a56-4c30-8031-40d7237ebaea/EOLT+website+banner.png Meet Andrea https://www.andreasextondumas.com/working-together daily 0.75 2026-03-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600dd6182c69ea16574d01ce/3a8858d4-3cc0-42dd-87f6-a6277525b8d6/mushroom.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600dd6182c69ea16574d01ce/83367668-666e-4b9a-96c0-d5ab11744d13/owl.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600dd6182c69ea16574d01ce/9fab50bc-aa27-4068-813f-1a82d7779ab2/sunset_dogpark.jpg Working Together - There’s a few different ways we can work together: Grief Gardening Ceremony + Ritual Planning Hospice Care Some of the things you’re carrying might include the death of someone you love, a health diagnosis, major life transitions, grief about climate collapse and imperialist, capitalist, patriarchal yt supremacy and misogynoir.

This is a sacred time to honor your grief by doing - or not doing - whatever feels supportive to your body and spirit in that moment Videos off, no participation required. We’ll light a candle to open the space. Sometimes there’s music and other times we gather in silence. As the poem instructs, we let the candle speak. https://www.andreasextondumas.com/podcasts daily 0.75 2026-02-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600dd6182c69ea16574d01ce/6aa37f0c-9415-462d-b147-3a559e7e8013/Hypnotations+-+Artwork.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600dd6182c69ea16574d01ce/d1fbeb0d-3967-4cf7-b928-6bf7f403d279/main+podcast+artwork+-+Aug+2024.png https://www.andreasextondumas.com/grief-gardening daily 0.75 2024-11-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600dd6182c69ea16574d01ce/1dded9f1-d8e8-4068-bf0b-d9223b612c30/Grief+Gardening.png https://www.andreasextondumas.com/grief-gardening-1 daily 0.75 2026-03-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600dd6182c69ea16574d01ce/29513bbd-7273-4e12-b416-c7fed2859a4f/WindRoom-3.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600dd6182c69ea16574d01ce/332da37f-4d1f-49fa-bb89-5a4982200a1c/WindRoom-1.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600dd6182c69ea16574d01ce/3fadab30-4937-4a26-9e9e-9658277a2236/WindRoom-4.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600dd6182c69ea16574d01ce/d0d0c184-4c9e-45be-852c-5295946e3971/WindRoom-2.jpg
