The place where your death work will be organized.

Before the Keys begin, you’ll need a Guidebook, a sturdy 3-ring binder to keep by your side. This isn’t just for homework. It will hold your reflections, your art, your resources, your half-formed ideas, connections you’ll make, forms you’ll need handy, all for your future death work magic.

Make it with care.

Treat this first step like you’re striking a quiet agreement with the work itself. Maybe write one line of devotion on the first page. Collage the cover. Tuck in a feather, a pressed flower, a scrap of fabric, whatever feels like a promise or a prayer.

Over time, this Guidebook will become the living record of your path as a death worker and an organized resource for your own death work.
