Welcome to May Love Live On (MLLO), a sanctuary where grief is honored, transformation is nurtured, and love lives on through us, within us, and beyond us.
Born from a journey of deep personal loss and profound awakening, MLLO was founded by Stephan Houston after the passing of his beloved mother — a loss that reshaped his life and called him to create sacred spaces for healing.
At MLLO we honor grief, not only as an ending, but as a pathway leading to transformation. We gather to heal through community, ceremony, creativity, and remembrance.
Through free support circles, family-centered events, and creative wellness programs, we are building a living ecosystem where sorrow transforms into gardens of hope and where Love, truly, Lives On.
May Love Live On (MLLO) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit grief and transformation collective.

Our Connection to Bees
At MLLO, bees are more than a symbol, they are keepers of wisdom, guides, and reflections of how we grieve, heal, and transform together.
In many traditions, bees are seen as messengers between worlds, carrying whispers to our ancestors and returning with blessings. Like grief, they work in both silence and song. Like love, bees gather sweetness, even through sorrow.
The hive reminds us that healing is not only individual, it’s communal.
Every bee plays a part. Every loss is felt by the whole.
Every return to joy is honey shared by us all.
Just as bees transform pollen into nectar and nectar into honey, we aim to support in transforming pain into prayer and memory into meaning.
MLLO is our hive. Grief is our pollen. Love is our nectar. Transformation is our honey.
