With Eyes Open: A Training in Compassionate Presence
The eyes of a dying patient are clear mirrors. In their gaze there is simply no place to hide. Coming face to face with dying requires a fierce compassion and self-awareness that is best supported by mindfulness, emotional balance and equanimity.
This seminar builds essential competencies, strengthens individual capacity for compassionate service, and enhances spiritual development. In the relationship with those served by Hospice, the practice of compassion is essential to good pain management or symptom control. Yet, rarely is it acknowledged as our most available and effective resource, offering immeasurable value to all interventions. Without the presence of compassion, caregiving becomes a series of mechanical or technological efforts that exhaust everyone and heals no one. Frank discusses how to sustain the fearless receptivity of compassion and draws on his experience as both patient and caregiver to illustrate its impact on those facing life threatening illness and loss.
