"As a grief ritualist, a soil nerd, and an herbalist, I had been eager to study under the wise mentorship of HollyBlue. She took me under her wings and has been guiding me to find my place in the Jewish end of life movement. She does so by listening deeply, asking powerful questions, inviting me to read her writings, and participate in a wide variety of programs led by her colleagues to give me a sense of the depth and the breadth of this fertile field. During our sacred time so far, it was not infrequent that she had me moved to tears — and yet we’ve spent an equal amount of time howling with laughter. More than just a consultant, she has mentored my soul through a homecoming." —Devorah Brous, FromSoil2Soul

Cemetery Start-up Consulting Packages
The full package provides long term assistance with cemetery development, phased infrastructure design, and logistical considerations. Once basic plans are complete, the focus shifts to operating systems and administration, sales and promotion. Staff education and oversight may be part of ongoing consultation, along with the development of tools and training for ongoing community education. Conferencing when needed, along with assessments and reviews, are offered throughout the life of the contract.
If support with one or two specific start-up areas is all that is needed, we can offer those services only within a specific timeframe. Conferencing when needed will be included in that agreement.

Private Individual and Cohort Mentoring
Sometimes all you need is a little time to ask the right questions. Or maybe you are working on a thesis or work project with a broad scope and you'd like to hone in on specific aspects of the work. Private mentoring is conversation and troubleshooting when you need it or as part of an ongoing exploration of specific topic areas. It may be a one-off, or perhaps a series of meetings where we work together to get where you want to go. Either way, I welcome meeting you to customize a schedule that works best.
Site Visits
Often the best way to move forward is together, in person. Depending on the scope of your project and where you are in the process, a site visit might be called for. Travel and accommodations will be billed separately from time spent engaged in the project during the visit, with an agreed upon daily cap; home stays are welcome to help reduce costs.
Continuing Support
Community Outreach
Having staff members who can perform community outreach on an ongoing basis requires tools and materials, but also training (and retraining) on how to use them. Developing presentation materials that are appropriate for your region and customer base is critical in sending a strong, purposeful, and authentic message.
Communications Materials
Families, individuals, professionals, and cemetery staff need to be on the same page about the rules, making communications materials such as visitor guides and well-designed rules and regulations paramount.
Cemetery Protocols
All staff need to be well versed in Standards of Operation (SOPs). And they need regular reviews to ensure that the SOPs are being followed. Scheduled check-ins and site reviews make sure your operations are running smoothly and that everyone on the ground is working in tandem for safety and consistency reasons.
