Queer Companionship in Loss with Ori

Ori Aguila, and elder queer of 40+ years, is also know as The Death Companion. They are a Trans and Indigiqueer Two-Spirit Non-Binary Death & Abortion Companion as well as a Grief and Loss Educator, Mentor, Writer, and Coach. When not creating informative and engaging content on Tik Tok, they are traversing the realm of tarot, divination, brujeria, and energetic medicine as a practitioner and a curanderx in training. When not reading 5 books at a time, Ori hosts a podcast called "Queering Death" where they explore interviews with Queer and Trans folks on their unique experiences with grief, shadow loss, and end of life. Their work is community focused and built upon a foundation of trauma-informed/responsive training, lived experience as well as healing-centered engagement. Ori makes their home in NYC amongst the piles of books, plants, altars, music and bustling traffic below their peaceful pre-war apartment.
