Let us know what resonates with you 3 Reconnecting in person and sharing delicious homemade goodness from a local coffee shop in Wisconsin, Coach Steph Z and Sonia get ready for Hawaii and have an intimate conversation about: ✨ Birthing human and non-human babies ✨ Rites of passage, suicide, and honoring age: ancient and modern rituals ✨ Living in community, strategizing, and letting ourselves rest “We initiated our Winter Solstice retreat in Milwaukee Wisconsin, I definitely over-packed, but I was preparing for this negative degree weather.” - Coach Steph Z The cold gifts us discomfort and clarity, we are able to appreciate the warmth that our solitude and loved ones provide during the cold winter months. These are some of the lessons we discussed through our winter solstice retreat, check out three things we are embracing for 2023: #Rest: Honoring the seasons, cycles of life, winter, and resting #Embracing #conflict: Following through on relationships for growth #Honor #yourself: Don’t play shitty shows for shitty payDisclaimer: We understand that suicide and drug overdose cannot be conflated and that is not our intention. There are very serious psychological, emotional, public health, and other factors that relate to these two causes of death and we aren’t throwing them in the same bucket. We mean to open a conversation about unhealthy standards of beauty and the unrealistic drive to remain youthful forever. You can follow: Sonia Erika (they/he/she) is the daughter of formerly undocumented laborers. After 21 years as an “illegal alien” Sonia finally went back to Mexico, and then continued traveling and living in Peru and Brazil making music with Death Is A Business.

Death Is A Business was created in 2013 in a New York City college dorm room. Since then, it has traveled throughout the US and Latin America. The group’s sound incorporates musicians and instruments from around the world like the Afro-Peruvian Cajon and the Andean flute.
