Honoring the Legacy of Lynne Whitesides

Our beloved, sassy, wise, hilarious Lynne Judith Kanavel Whitesides (Mama Lynne) made her transition into the next adventure on July 7th, 2025.

Lynne spent her life pursuing the divine and collecting knowledge and community like a magnet. She drew to her the seekers, the thinkers, the adventurers, the wounded, the healing, and the healers. She reminded us that the search for the spirit within and beyond ourselves is an imperfect, beautiful mess, and that through the chaos of life, we are connected to something greater than ourselves.

Lynne dedicated her career to assisting those brave enough to seek healing and aiding those open to finding their own journey toward the divine. Lynne loved fiercely. As a mother and grandmother, as a surrogate mother to many, to her friends, her clients, the spiritual healing community, those she collected along the way, and those that found their way to her. Lynne was a born charismatic pathfinder. She led others with a profoundly open heart and reminded us that we are all connected to each other.

Lynne wasn't afraid to ask the hard questions. She always spoke her truth unapologetically and lived her life in a way that dared us all to live our own more fully, more authentically.

Due to the unanticipated speed of Lynne’s passing, many logistical loose ends were left in her wake. We, as a community, would like to assist Lynne’s family in fulfilling her final requests and covering the earthly side of her transition. Donations will go toward settling Lynne's estate, unforeseen medical bills, transportation costs of her ashes to Peru, which was a place dear to Lynne's heart, and her end-of-life celebration. Lynne's end-of-life celebration is open to all who love and were loved by her. See RSVP link here.

Additional donations will be used to carry on Lynne’s legacy of financially supporting those she was in the process of assisting emotionally and intellectually. Thank you kindly for considering a contribution in honor of our dearest Lynne and for being a part of Lynne's life.
