Lauren Carroll
Your guide
Lauren Carroll, co-founder of La Mort, is a Death Educator & Holistic Funeral Director who has spent over 20 years in the death space. She has served on the Board of Directors at The National Home Funeral Alliance, worked as a hospice volunteer, and mentored thousands of deathworkers through her co-creations: La Mort and the Deathwives. The School of Sacred Death is the culmination of her decades of experience - a space for those ready to transform their lives and their work in profound ways.
She currently lives on an urban farm at the base of a mountain where she tends to her animals, raises her two children, and dances around bonfires on the full moon with friends while listening to Nick Cave.
Our Teaching / Learning / Creating Style at La Mort
We leave behind the polished, gate-keepy approach to education. We teach in ways that carry story and experience. We listen. We laugh (a lot). We go off-script sometimes. We cry (with you)(for those you’ve loved)(for those we’ve loved). We like science and studies and logical frameworks, but also mysticism and poetry and all that stuff. We really love to honor history and those who came before. We move through some serious curricula, but don’t take anything too seriously. We dedicate ourselves to seeing you, and want you to feel seen. We deeply honor our intuition and yours. We lead with integrity (always). And we welcome the odd-balls and misfits, because it takes one to know one.
