PASSION AND TRANSFORMATION IN ACCOMPANYING THE DYING
All too often death is talked about as the enemy. There is another possibility.
The encounter with death is a time of intense aliveness and full of passion, love, despair, fear, grief, joy, intimacy, and devotion. As a compassionate companion we learn that dying has a life of its own which we come to recognize and serve. How do we live in the crucible of transformation? How do we open to this territory of mystery and unanswerable questions?
This experiential workshop takes the innovative approach of using the universal and timeless wisdom of teaching stories and poems as lenses to gain insight into the unique challenges of accompanying the dying. These voices can encourage, inspire, and dare us to take risks and help us discern the voices of longing, belonging, and discovered meaning in service.
This workshop is open to all and may be of particular interest to professionals or those who anticipate caring for family members or friends facing life-threatening illness.
