Wilka discusses death activism, how we can reconnect to the natural cycles of life and death, where our fear of death comes from, the necessity of community support in navigating grief, and simple practices to connect into death on the daily.
Tenemos una capacidad de dominar nuestra naturaleza hoy día con nuestros avances. Estamos identificados por conceptos de lo que somos y por qué estamos aquí. Como naturaleza y como consciencia no somos dueños de nada. Tenemos una fantasía condicionada de que soy esto porque tengo esto. ¿Qué más podemos considerar como consciencia encarnada?
Each one of us will come face-to-face with grief many times during our lifetime. Grief is the human condition that none of us can avoid. Wilka explains how grief guides us to grow and evolve.

Francesca Lynn Arnoldy and Wilka Roig, creatives led by the Doula heart, explore the human creative impulse, the ways we feel called and invited to express creatively, and how we can engage that process in our daily life. We marvel at the parallels and connections between how we relate to creativity and how we hold space for the dying and the grieving.
At the end of life, no one should face death alone. Across cultures and continents, communities have developed unique ways to support the dying and their loved ones—offering care, companionship, and guidance through one of life's most profound transitions. While each model is shaped by its local context, the need for communal support remains universal. Moderated by Christine Caldwell, four…
Wilka discusses conscious grieving as the transformative process that invites us to acknowledge and collaborate with the loss, assuming the inevitable change, and allow for the new life that the loss initiates, and to be willing to enter into the formless, dark, unknown space that allows for the new to take form.
How do we live life and approach death with "merciful awareness?" What does it mean to become aware of life and death's "zero point?"

Wilka Roig, Psicóloga Transpersonal, Doula de la muerte, consejera de duelo, platica con MEG, para fortalecernos en que hay que honrar los procesos, que en la vida, desde que nacemos, estamos en pérdida y ganancia—la ganancia es estar conscientes de que tenemos una vida y también la ganancia de que nos vamos a ir—este proceso de la comprensión de la muerte, de que todo cambia y nada es para…

Hay que dejar morir para dejar nacer y la muerte solo duele si ponemos resistencia. Hay muertes físicas y muertes de identidad, personalidad, patrones, creencias, y más.

Wilka explains how death is happening at many levels, much of the time, and how grief can be dealt with wisely. She invites us to broaden our relationship to transitions, and emphasises living fully and dying gracefully. She discusses death denial, how dreams inform life, altered states, and the possibilities for integrating Curanderismo, Tibetan Buddhism and other approaches to the death process.
Wilka and April explore our relationship with dreams, endings, the lunar cycle, eclipses, and redefining grief.
Darkness is that time of disorientation before we can reorient; it is a time of reset, of actually acknowledging that we are no longer the person who we were even a breath ago.
One thing is sure: we are all going to die. Wilka discusses how contemplating death—whether or not we have been diagnosed with a short life expectancy—can enhance our lives and our intimate relationships.
Synchronicities lead the way when we surrender to the process of grief.
Wilka discusses the rich history of indigenous end-of-life traditions in the Americas, wellness at this special phase of life, and her work as a death doula providing wellness at the end of life in Mexico, highlighting the training program she developed which has created a team of volunteer death doulas throughout North, Central and South America.
Transition = loss/gain + inevitable change; every transition is an initiation, an invitation to collaborate with necessary change
La pérdida nos invita a hacer una revisión de quiénes hemos sido, de quiénes somos, y quiénes podemos ser.
In our progression through grief and toward the end of life, dreams, visions, and the symbolic therein reveal what needs to be explored, considered, tended to, and healed. Understanding and identifying symbolic language can help guide us through the end-of-life process.
"I see dying as one of the most powerful gifts we give to anyone who is around us." — Wilka Roig
The Elisabeth Kübler-Ross perspective on loss, grief and end-of-life support focuses on what unites us and makes us equal. Loss, death and grief unify us and remind us of our sameness; we are all equal as people who go through losses, who grieve, and who are going to die. This perspective connects us and brings us back to a collective community experience, through and beyond our differences, and…
