I am Gabrielle Bonneville.

Here you will learn
to live fully
to expand consciousness
and to die with ease
With a foundation in circus, ballet, yoga, and kundalini and one of the Founders of Momentom Collective — a global residency blending performance, meditation, and philosophy - I always embraced the ever changing nature of life by dancing and moving with it.
When my father died three years ago after years of battling cancer, I lost my favorite person in the world. I was in disbelief, shocked and without the tools to cope. I did my best, capturing and recording his voice and his stories so that one day I could play them for my children. I’m so thankful I did. But there is so much more I wish I’d known to do.
After his passing, he left a void in our family and I realized we would never be the same. We had no one to guide us in our grief, and help us understand how to recalibrate as a family unit with his absence.
I now see that I had to go through that portal, that it brought me to this work. His death gave deeper meaning to my life. Now, I weave these worlds. Helping people live and die with reverence for the gift of existence. By embracing death, and practicing for it, we expand our consciousness which creates a life with more aliveness, joy, and purpose.
MOVEMENT
A protocol for body activation so that you are moving through your life with serenity, strength, flexibility - and in full radiance.
MEDICINE
Ceremonial work with plant teachers to expand consciousness and embrace the nature of life and death.
MORTALITY
Support yourself or your loved one in moving through life’s transitions from death to divorce with consciousness and care. Welcome to the Academy of Living and Dying.
Live fully.
Die prepared.
Between life and death, expand consciousness.
These three pathways form the arc of my work: a continuum that mirrors the cycle of life itself.
Each stands alone as its own doorway, and together they create a single, coherent philosophy for living fully, healing deeply, and meeting death with clarity and grace.
These pillars will soon open as three distinct offerings—three portals you can step through depending on where you are in your own cycle of transformation.
Stay tuned - we will launch more offerings soon.
Stories from the Continuum

Working with Gabrielle brought me back into my body after years of feeling numb.
“Her movement practice didn’t just strengthen me — it woke something up inside me. I found vitality again, and with it, a sense of purpose I had forgotten I had.”

The ceremony with Gabrielle was the first time I felt truly held in my healing.
“She guided me with such presence that I could finally release an identity I had been carrying for decades. It wasn’t just a ceremony — it was a rebirth.”

Gabrielle walked with our family through the hardest moment of our lives.
“Her calm, her tenderness, and her reverence for the sacredness of death helped us grieve with more peace than we ever imagined possible. She was a lighthouse in our darkest night.”

I came to Gabrielle burned out, grieving, and disconnected.
“Through movement she revived my body, through medicine she expanded my perception, and through death-work she helped me understand what truly matters. My life hasn’t just changed — it’s become more honest, more awake, more mine.”
The Living and Dying Podcast is an intimate, unflinching, and deeply human exploration of what it means to be alive in a world that is constantly changing, and constantly asking us to let go.
Hosted by Gabrielle Bonneville, death doula, movement artist, and psychedelic-assisted therapist, the show weaves together conversations on movement, consciousness, grief, ritual, healing, and mortality into a single coherent philosophy: to live fully, we must learn how to die well.
Each episode invites listeners into the thresholds we all cross — heartbreak, illness, rebirth, aging, identity shifts, loss, love, and the ultimate transition of death itself — guided by the understanding that every transformation contains both an ending and a beginning.
Drawing from somatic practice, ceremonial traditions, plant medicine, psychology, and lived experience, the podcast explores how the body becomes the doorway to wisdom, how consciousness expands through surrender, and how facing impermanence with reverence awakens our deepest aliveness.
