Walking Between Worlds
A compassionate space for pet hospice & end-of-life support
-
Saying goodbye to an animal asks more than love; it asks the willingness to feel. Old grief, new grief, anticipatory grief… hesitation is not wrong. it’s a threshold, and it can be met safely.
Many people feel drawn to this work, yet hesitate to step fully into it. That hesitation is natural. It’s not a sign of weakness, it’s your heart protecting itself.
Walking Between Worlds is my four-day live, online workshop, designed to help you:
Stay open and grounded at the end of an animal’s life
Hold vigil without collapsing or numbing
Honor love without rushing the goodbye
Learn to be present with grief
Cultivate a compassionate and inclusive culture at the end of life
The sacred partnership between humans and their animals
Serve others with authentic presence
This four-day workshop guides you on a journey of opening more fully to the cycles of life, loss, and renewal.
In this transformative experience, you'll receive far more than just practical end-of-life resources.
Through compassionate mentorship, you'll strengthen your ability to hold space during these poignant goodbyes while nourishing your heart.

Who This Workshop Is For
This workshop is for you if you feel called to be present with animals during illness, aging, or the end of life.
It may be especially supportive if you are:
A pet guardian navigating anticipatory grief or end-of-life decisions
Someone who feels deeply and wants guidance on how to stay open without becoming overwhelmed
An animal communicator, healer, or practitioner who holds space for others
Drawn to hospice or death doula work, but unsure how to meet the emotional weight safely
You don’t need prior experience, special training, or to be “ready.”
You only need a willingness to approach this threshold with curiosity, tenderness, and respect for your own pace.

This will be my FIFTH workshop. Ute has been my wise and caring sensei from the first workshop I attended. Thanks to my treasured teacher and classmates, who are now family, I found my purpose in life. Each time I attend, I learn many new things, and my understanding of how to help beloved pets have a good and peaceful transition broadens. I also have fun! If you are interested in learning about this remarkable stage of life, whether you want to be a doula for others' pets or help your own, I wholeheartedly recommend this workshop. - Jayne
There is a space between living and leaving. A threshold that asks for presence, steadiness, and compassion.
This introduction to Walking Between Worlds explores what it actually takes to support animals at the end of life with clarity, compassion, and grounded presence.
Most of us say we love our animals deeply. But when death arrives at the threshold, we often freeze—paralyzed by grief we haven't learned to hold, afraid of doing it "wrong," unsure how to stay present when everything in us wants to run.
We'll touch on:
A more conscious, sacred goodbye than conventional approaches offer
What animals truly need from us in their final days
How to discern your animal's needs versus what your fear is telling you
The difference between compassion and competence in hospice care
