[Thespiritexpress] Fwd: It's not too late to register for End of Life Doula training

Tue Jan 16 19:21:18 PST 2024

This looks like a wonderful program~. 

~With this valuable information and knowledge fears of death and the dying process can be lessened~. 

~ Fear of death, loss of a loved one or fear of our own death can be greatly reduced by understanding the process in advance~. 

~ By coming to terms with this inevitable reality and understanding conscious dying for self and others we are able to 

experience living with more presence~.

w/Love, ~Ron

Both events inspired original poems which grew into her self-published collection, Lamentations: Grief and Remembrance.

> Linda Suhr

> Here's what some of our Level 1 students had to say:
> 
> The training "incorporated our hearts, minds and spirit into the work. The training embodied what it is to sit with ourselves facing death and applying it to sitting with someone who is dying. We were able to understand more the rights we have and what we should do to maximize those rights, the legal and logistical steps of this process. 
> — Paolo
>  
> Jumping into the group was a big hurdle so I really appreciated the breakout groups. It was so much easier to communicate for me that way. The film on Bryon’s home funeral was uplifting. Felt so good to be exposed to loving options for this ever so “civilized” and antiseptically clean world that we live in now. 
> — D Joy
>   
> I loved the structure you have created for presenting such an abundant amount of information in a short time... interweaving presentations, activities, small group interactions, slides and videos with skill, knowledge, compassion and humor. It was informative, thought provoking and emotionally impactful. I had several unexpected moments of tears.
