Witnessing Birth and Death within Community with Thom Chaffey
“I am a man, a husband and a father. A poet, a wordsmith, forging the immutable into the tangible. A carer, a lover and giver. I assist others on their life's journey in whatever capacity is needed in the moment. I have experience with life at its extremities and a lot that comes in between. My soul yearns to be reunited with source while my body yearns for tradition and community.”
Thom Caffey is a full-time father and currently lives with his partner and three children in Germany. He is passionate about conscious birthing and dying being witnessed within community. And the immense potential and healing power these thresholds have to transform community.
“We are our stories. And we tell our stories to unravel the ones we’ve been told.”
