I have created this class expressly to support any human who wants to feel more at ease
and of greater service to people at the end of life.
The class is a combination of scientific and factual information about the physiology of
dying, interpersonal exercises to cultivate listening and presence, self-exploration to better
understand our own relationship to mortality and a variety of work that will combine all of these.
Who should attend:
This class is meant for anyone who wants to know more about themselves and to open to what's
possible when we soften our relationship to our assumptions, beliefs and stories. If you want to
experience more joy in your life, this class is for you.
As an experienced oncology massage therapist, graduate of Metta Institute's End of Life Care Practitioner Program (www.mettainstitute.org) and hospice volunteer, I have had the unique opportunity to study and work closely with many of the leaders in the fields of contemplative and end of life care (Ram Dass, Norman Fischer, Christina Puchalski, Ange Stephens, Frank Ostaseski and others) from physicians to meditation teachers to psychologists and clergy. Of course, I have learned the most valuable lessons at the bedside of dying people.
