Siobhan Asgharzadeh
Siobhan Asgharzadeh is a certified birth and death doula and life passages mentor. She is also a pilgrim and has walked her prayers for over 20 years after her first pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago. Siobhan is dedicated to re-enlivening the old way of walking as journey into soul territory carrying wonder and curiosity as her pilgrim staff. Seeing the deep cultural need for more grief literate support for those who have experienced loss, Siobhan became a grief doula and created Grief Pilgrim, a pathway to a more generative and soulful relationship with grief. Working with old initiation stories, poetry, land sojourns, ritual, crafting, and council Siobhan works with individuals and groups to re-imagine a cultural relationship with grief that supports people in their becoming. Because of her love of the wild lands and the heartbreak she carries around the impact of humans forgetting how to be good stewards of the land, she feels devoted to awaken herself and others into a more generative relationship with life. Dance and song and plants and prayer and myths and legends and dreams and rivers and trees and songbirds and adventure and poetry have been her greatest teachers.
