Executive Summary
Doorway Into Light is founded on the essential truth that the death of our bodies is a sacred and spiritual passage. We are dedicated to elevating the process of death and dying back into the realm of sacred work; empowering, educating and supporting families and communities on their rights and choices for the dying; and helping to heal this culture’s relationship to aging, dying and death.
In giving away the caring for our dying and dead to institutions and businesses, we have cut ourselves off from important soul work and community work. Not engaging directly in this work as communities is a contributing cause of a people and a culture that is out-of-balance. Death and dying are rarely a part of our cultural conversation. An unwholesome relationship with death has led to an unhealthy relationship with life and the life of the world we live in.
