Conversations around Death and Dying have been taboo in Western culture. We are ill-prepared, as a society, to elevate our understanding of how we die, and how we can tend to a dying person in a peaceful way. Dying viewed as a natural part of living gives us a window into the orderly fashion in which a body dies. Without fear, for both witness and the dying person, this experience can become sacred and beautiful. Exploring palliative care, care for the caregivers, both professional and personal, linguistic approaches for support and understanding, hands-on practices to provide ease, and open, honest conversation regarding fear and end of life issues, this course, using an Eastern approach, will help you navigate this aspect of life with knowledge and grace.
