ChrisTina Maestas Simek, a death doula and certified life cycle celebrant, is petitioning the County Planning Commission for a conditional use permit to host small, intimate ceremonies on her land in CaƱada de los Alamos. Her vision is to create a quiet and respectful space for rites of passage, including celebrations of life.
Not everyone supports her vision. A few neighbors have voiced concerns and opposition at recent hearings. Today, ChrisTina returns before the Santa Fe County Planning Commission.
- The hearing is today (Thursday 7/17) at 4 PM at 102 Grant Ave.
- Her item is fourth on the agenda.
If you're able, we invite you to show up in quiet solidarity. Your presence can help support those creating space for reflection, healing, and community care.
