Maria Verdicchio is an End-of-Life Designer and Nature & Forest Therapy Guide, providing heart-centered and pragmatic advance-care planning, end-of-life education, and life transition ceremonies.

Maria helps people live fully, now. Gaining clarity about what matters at the end of our life illuminates who and what matters now and helps us be more present and compassionate when caring for others who are ill or dying.

When we learn more about death, dying, and grief—and share our experiences—we become more death literate, reducing anxieties and fears about end-of-life. This understanding can help us approach life and death with wisdom, honor, and respect.

Join us as we discuss these topics and more, including how the British comedy troupe Monty Python can be an excellent teacher as we consider our personal connection to death and dying.
