Facing our fear of death to live in our truth with Ori Aguila Artwork

Clapp with Jane with Jane Clapp

I know some of the most interesting and inspiring people who are helping to keep humanity afloat in their own unique ways, in the middle of a world health crisis. I want you to meet them too. First, as humans. Second, as experts in their field. To hear their stories of overcoming their personal struggles and trauma (including PTSD and cPTSD) to bring their weird and wonderful heart healing gifts to the world in quiet and loud ways. Let's give these folx the applause they deserve and, in turn, be reminded of that part of ourselves that can never be lost or dissolved regardless of what is going on around us. Something numinous, magical, and even funny in each of us that we call Self. p.s. I like F bombs. Who am I? I’m a mindful strength and movement coach, a trauma-informed embodied resilience expert, educator and a Jungian analyst in training. My goal: To help people cultivate a deeply felt sense of resilience and empowerment, so they can weather storms in life while keeping their hearts and spirits alive.(Podcast editor: Chase Valeriote)

In this episode, I had a truly amazing conversation with Ori Aguila. I am beyond grateful to have had this opportunity to speak with them/him/él and take in some of their/his/él wisdom. We discuss what death means in our modern urban environment as well the importance of knowing what grace is and having the ability to offer grace to ourselves and each other and to step into personal responsibility when it is offered.

Ori Aguila (they/he/él), a Multi-hyphenate Death Worker, Educator, and Advocate, is a mixed Jewish and reclaiming Indígena Muisca of Occupied Colombia trauma specialist, death worker, writer, and grief & loss educator. They are Two-Spirit, TransNative, Queer AF, and sober transracial adoptee. For over 3 decades, Ori has provided care to the dying, the grieving, those who have experienced loss. An abolitionist community caregiver, they take on antisemitism, cultural genocide, transphobia, harm reduction, and advocate for adoptee rights in their work to bring justice and liberation to the death, grief, and loss care space.
