Medicine Horse

Join Death & Donuts and Medicine Horse for a reflective autumn meditation experience exploring release, renewal, and the wisdom of change. Set against the peaceful backdrop of Medicine Horse in Longmont, this gathering invites participants to slow down, connect with the season, and consider what they may be ready to set down as the year begins its transition toward winter.

Through guided meditation, quiet reflection, and meaningful conversation, we'll explore questions such as:

What am I carrying that no longer serves me?
What would it feel like to release it?
How can embracing impermanence help me live more fully in the present?

This event is nearly sold out. View ticket availability here.

HI! I’M PERI. I’M GLAD YOU’RE HERE.

I started this community with the goal of giving people a safe space to explore topics around death and dying. Death is not a topic that everyone is comfortable talking about. But you know what makes it a little easier? Donuts.

Death & Donuts is a come as-you-are, judgement-free zone where curiosity, kindness and respect always take center stage. My hope is that this community takes on a life of its own – that it becomes a place where friendships are created and new perspectives emerge.

WHEN I’M NOT ORGANIZING DEATH & DONUTS, I’M ALSO THE FOUNDER OF THE MOSTLY DEATH STUFF PODCAST.

I’m a hospice volunteer and certified death doula.
