Conversations with a Death Doula - Walking with our Mortality with Wilka Roig

06/08/23 • 52 min

Wilka Roig brings a broad perspective to her work in end-of-life wellness as a transpersonal psychologist, death doula, grief counsellor, dream worker, ordained minister, educator and facilitator. She holds a MA in Transpersonal Psychology and has trained with Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés in Archetypal and Cross-Cultural Psychology, and with Dr. Gabor Maté in Compassionate Inquiry. We discuss the emerging role of the death doula and the overarching attitude towards death in Western culture. We consider how people come to work with a death doula, what may happen during the death transition and how preparing well for death actually enriches life. We also discuss how a person's beliefs might inform their relationship to death and the knowing that guides the facilitation of transition. Wilka invites us to broaden our relationship to transitions, and emphasises living fully and dying gracefully. She explains how death is happening at many levels, much of the time, and how grief can be dealt with wisely. We also discuss death denial, how dreams inform life, altered states, and the possibilities for integrating Curanderismo, Tibetan Buddhism and other approaches to the death process. Ultimately, Wilka provides us with an expansive and integrative view of what a death doula is and can be.
Wilka is president of the Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Foundation branch in Central Mexico, deputy director of education of EKR Foundation Global, end-of-life doula educator and advisor of the International End of Life Doula Association, curriculum coordinator for the International Study of the Institute for the Study of Birth, Breath and Death, and Advisory Council member of Beautiful Dying Expo. She is also an affiliate of Death Cafe, and administrator of Death Café Mexico. Wilka additionally apprentices with medicine women in Mexico, where she resides, and trains in Curanderismo and Equine & Nature Therapies.

The Colon Tells a Story: Colon Hydrotherapy with Bill Haggard

Bill Haggard is a highly experienced colon hydrotherapy practitioner with a knowledge and wisdom for the therapy born of great passion and experience. Twenty-two years ago, Bill found himself suffering from a life-time exposure to toxic environments including Agent Orange used in Vietnam and chemicals from his family’s farming amongst others. Diagnosed with several inconclusive conditions, including liver ailments and chronic fatigue, Bill began researching alternative therapies and discovered colonics. Bill shares how the colon and our colon health tells a story, the various systems for colonic irrigation and his personal journey of recovery. We discuss how stress, refined food, dehydration, chemical exposure, and unprocessed trauma and emotions can impede your colon’s ability to eliminate efficiently. We discuss why gut health and maintenance is often under the radar in health and wellness, the benefits of colonics and enemas, and how colonic irrigation is an ancient practice. We consider the controversies and contraindications regarding colonics. Bill shares what he feels are the best complimentary practices, the value of using filtered water for hydrotherapy, the role of constipation and diarrhea, the popularity of coffee enemas, and the use of additives to enhance detoxification. We discuss the connection of the gut, nervous and immune system and the importance of getting back to the basics of health. Bill shares how a healthy colon can lead to greater vitality and clear thinking, what a healthy digestive system looks like, how a person can start on the journey of greater colon health, and what to look for in a colonic practitioner. Bill now lives a life free of the 'ailments' previously diagnosed, and has been offering colonics as a practitioner for more than twenty years to a thriving clientele.

I'm Not Coming Back: Experiencing Enlightenment with Ananda Abinou

Ananda Abinou achieved his enlightenment in 1973. Since that time he has travelled extensively, giving freely to whomever sought his knowledge. In 2001 he released his teachings to the public in the book I'm Not Coming Back; Talks With Ananda Abinou (Epinoc Publishing). Ananda muses on all things consciousness related, from esoteric teachings to the nature of reality. He has been called a Black Buddha and the Sage of the West. In this meditative episode Ananda shares his awakening process, the act of letting go at a radical level, and how he didn’t come to awakening through any spiritual system. We discuss what enlightenment is in relation to what he calls "the moment", how psychological tension effects the body and the physical adjustments he experienced after his spiritual awakening. Ananda shares how reality is a “vibrational frequency”, and the importance of the power of choice, focus and responsibility. He highlights how we limit ourselves through our investment in beliefs and how an individual contributes to the collective. He discusses moving beyond duality and coming to wholeness, the singularity of consciousness and our responsibility to truthfulness. Finally, Ananda exemplifies the importance of laughter, joy and why it's important not to take things so seriously!
