Casey Engels, certified death doula and founder of Willowwood Deathcare, leads this week's open-ended conversation about designing for end of life and where to begin.

Casey works to cultivate the social soil of resilient, caring, and equity-minded communities. She weaves her background in Whole Systems Thinking, facilitation, permaculture, and project management in service of unearthing powerful questions, connections, and conversations. She also believes that tending to process and emergence applies as much to the end of any cycle as it's beginning.
