        <itunes:summary>*Grief in Rainbows* is a space for sharing, learning, and exploring all the colors and shades of grief, loss, death, and dying. The creators and hosts — Erica Reid Gerdes, a Death Doula, and Amanda Mitchell Kawa, a Psychotherapist, Dance/Movement Therapist, and Intuitive — share memories of their personal and professional experiences in grief and loss work, and its impact on life and living.

We invite you to step into this podcast, listening within, as a ritual in creating space for your own learning and healing. We created this podcast with the intention of providing a place to land, a container for your own grief process, and a source of self-care and self-witnessing — a place to be curious about your relationship with end-of-life experiences and how they&#39;ve shaped who you are today.
