Mere Mortals: Touching the Tenderness:
A Six-Week Virtual Journey
Welcome to Touching the Tenderness, a thought-provoking exploration of mortality and impermanence. Guided by Katie Louise Cooper, a dedicated death doula and impermanence guide, this program invites you on a transformative journey to delve into the depths of your beliefs, fears, and desires, celebrating the beauty of the present moment. Discover the profound impact of embracing life's fleeting nature on your quest for meaning and connection.
Why This Journey?
In a world that often shies away from the topics of death and impermanence, Touching the Tenderness offers a sanctuary for deep reflection and discovery. This isn't just a program; it's a path to self-discovery, a chance to cultivate a deeper connection with your own existence, and an opportunity to live more fully.
What to Expect:
Deep Exploration of Mortality and Impermanence: Engage with life's biggest questions in a supportive and enriching environment.
Confront Anxieties, Celebrate Life: Unravel the mysteries of life and death, confront anxieties, and uncover your personal legacy.
Creative Expression Therapies: From guided visualizations to art-making, express and explore your reflections in creative ways.
Legacy Creation: Learn how to create a meaningful legacy that aligns with how you wish to live and support your loved ones.
Understanding Fear: Identify your "core death wound" through quizzes and discussions, confronting and understanding your fears in small, intimate groups.
But…
I'm too busy: Taking the time now can bring deep clarity and alignment, making every moment more intentional and meaningful.
I don't want to talk about death: Exploring death can liberate and illuminate life, allowing your true gifts to shine brighter.
Talking about death is hard: Facing death in a supportive setting can transform fear into freedom, grief into growth.
I have too many regrets: This journey is about releasing regrets and embracing opportunities for deep love and fulfillment.

Katie Louise Cooper
As a specialist, I focus on life transitions, impermanence, and end-of-life. As a certified Death Doula and Mortality + Impermanence Guide, my primary aim is to assist individuals in forging a purposeful and profound bond with the inevitability of death.
“My work with Katie has been nothing short of transformative. I have been struggling to process loss and understand grief and all its complexities for a few years, and my body shut down last Fall. I was holding too much.
Katie is the salve that my soul needed. She has this rare and beautiful gift of tenderly opening you up and providing space to feel seen, understood, met, and fully supported. Her sensitive and empathic nature makes me feel safe and comfortable sharing some of my most vulnerable and repressed parts. Being witnessed and comforted from this place has provided tremendous healing.
Each time we lovingly traverse my inner landscape, some new piece of me cracks open, and there is this powerful release. The places in my body and heart that previously felt locked and shut down now feel more open, honored, and loved. It feels like this alchemization process that I would never have been able to reach without her guidance. I feel held in a way I didn't know was possible, and a fuller and more open me is emerging. Our work together has been life-shaping, and I am so grateful! Katie is a true blessing. ”
