Psychopomp
Travel Buddies
Meet the guides at the edge of the world & craft them an altar to-go.
Remember those childhood afternoons spent crafting potions and casting spells in your backyard? The mud between your fingers. The serious business of play. Those childhood rituals weren't just imagination, they were your first conversations with the beyond.
Join us to meet the guides waiting for us all at the edge of the world, and craft altars to honor them wherever, whenever.

Before your spiritual toolkit included tarot decks and smudge sticks, it was plastic cauldrons and glitter wands. Before your altar held crystals and candles, it was a shoebox shrine of bottle caps and pretty rocks. You weren't just playing—you were PRACTICING.
That kid who dressed up their Polly Pockets for magical ceremonies? Who mixed bathroom powders into "potions"? Who insisted the invisible friend at your tea party needed their own cup? That kid was a natural-born psychopomp whisperer.
Join us to bridge the potion-making, polly-pocket-playing child in you & the adult who has walked through grief's doorway and seeks the deeper wisdom of death's messengers. Those "imaginary friends" weren't so imaginary after all—they were your first introduction to the beings who've been helping souls cross over since, well, forever.
2 evenings of Community & Co-creating
In this crafting extravaganza at the edge of worlds, we'll channel Santa Muerte's shadowed embrace, Mary Magdalene's radiant compassion, and beyond as we create portable psychopomp connection kits. Think of it as spiritual arts-and-crafts hour, where the glue sticks and glitter serve a higher purpose (but are still just as fun as when you were eight).
Together we'll cut, paste, bedazzle, and enchant our way into relationships with the psychopomps of our choosing, creating pocket-sized portals to the guides who’ve been waiting to work with us.
Evening ONE
Meet the guides
Psychopomps aren't one-size-fits-all guides - they're as diverse as the humans they serve. In our first gathering, we'll explore these threshold beings across cultures, discovering their unique characteristics and specialties. Did you know there are psychopomps dedicated specifically to guiding children? Others who watch over sex workers and bartenders? Through stories, images, and guided visualization, you'll learn how these guides might already be communicating with you and identify which psychopomp is calling to work with you personally.
Evening TWO
Craft your Altar
In our second session, we'll get our hands busy crafting portable altars that serve as physical anchors for your relationship with your chosen psychopomp. We will craft alongside you in real time, demonstrating techniques while honoring your unique connection. Please bring an empty container (box, tin, or pouch), basic supplies (scissors, glue), and decorative elements that speak to you—ribbons, tassels, trinkets, sparkly bits, natural elements, and any meaningful objects that resonate with your guide. Don't worry about having "the right supplies"—what matters most is the intention behind your creation.
This is a class for everyone with junk drawers full of potential altar objects, grief workers who secretly miss finger painting, space-holders who collect trinkets from their walks, death doulas who've glimpsed the guides at bedsides, and anyone who's ever felt the tingle of the threshold while holding a glue stick.
You don't need experience with intuitive practices to join, or a crafty, artistic background—your childhood self who made fairy houses from twigs and talked to the moon already gave you all the qualifications you need. Curiosity and willingness are enough; the psychopomps aren't art critics, they just want to play with you at the edge of worlds.

Her interests and research span the tender edges of both human and pet end-of-life care, LGBTQIA+ and trans-centered deathwork, memory care, ritual and ceremony, and the many ways we honor the dead through funerary and disposition practices. Lauren currently works at a funeral home in Brooklyn, NY, where she holds space for the living and the dead, and facilitates the Silent Book Club of Death, Brooklyn’s quiet little refuge for readers who aren’t afraid to sit with the big questions.
Lauren Carroll
Lauren Carroll, co-founder of La Mort, is a Death Educator & Holistic Funeral Director who is passionate about weaving community and family back into the death space. Her work centers around re-aligning our culture with Mother Earth and helping humans remember how to love one another.
