Surrendered Hearts (The Cricket Springs Series Book 2)

Lee Warren is a death educator, end-of-life preparation guide, and somatic practitioner. She is a cultural pioneer and leading voice in reimagining intimacy with death as a pathway to ecstatic aliveness. With over 30 years of experience living in intentional, land-based communities, Lee draws deeply from life at Earthaven Ecovillage in Southern Appalachia, where she co-created regenerative systems for home-building, food production, renewable energy, and progressive self-governance. Immersed in exploring more reverent ways to live, Lee also participated in collective approaches to death care, gaining firsthand knowledge of caregiving in a cooperative context, including at-home death care, home funerals, green burials, and community-based grief rituals. Her work bridges the practical and the mystical, weaving embodiment, contemplative inquiry, and culture repair into a recipe for empowered living and dying. Lee is the founder of ReclaimingWisdom.com and QueenofDeath.org, platforms offering education and resources. She lives in Asheville, North Carolina.
