As defined by Joanne Sienko Ott, St. Catherine University, "The literature describes the crone archetype as a pre-existent form in the collective unconscious that embodies instinctive ways of channeling wisdom, inner knowing, and intuition, guiding us through the transition of life, and going inward to bring forth the light for transformation."

Only with age can we receive the gifts of the crone. To know life through personal experience and to be able to share what we’ve learned with others. We aren’t guaranteed to reach this phase in our life so wouldn’t it be wonderful to actually honor this stage instead of dread it?

On this episode Janet Reichart, counselor, Reiki Master, and End of Life Doula, talks with Katie Leigh Jackson about her personal experiences with death, preparing for the death of a loved one, honoring those who have passed, and understanding what an end of life doula even is.
