Leona Tockey raised a family of five and then returned to college to
become a licensed Family Therapist. After twenty-five years as a successful
therapist and the publication of her novel Forget the Night, Leona retired
to Sonoma County, where she continues with her lifelong commitment to
offer connection, peace, and healing in the world.
The Masks of Death: Leona Tockey was overtaken by grief and loss following
the deaths of her husband and two adult sons within a short period of
time. She discovered healing and freedom through creating the masks,
story, music and dance that became The Masks of Death. Leona offered
this uniquely inspiring performance for many years to help others approach
death and grief in conscious and healing ways. Now 82, she has entrusted
this tradition to Bonney Meyer, her friend and spiritual daughter.
Bonney Meyer, as a sacred dancer, has spent the last 25 years studying
