THE TEACHINGS OF THE 3 HEARTS
The physical heart where we address the logistical and the physical; the emotional/psychological heart where we address our relationships with self and community; and the spiritual heart where we address our relationship with the sacred.
Facing Death Nourishing Life provides the skills, understandings and information to: One, Prepare for one's own approaching dying and death, Two, Become confident and proficient in caring for a dying loved one,
Three, Provide beginning skills and understandings for the care of someone with brain disorders, and Four, Build the willingness and capacity to meet the challenges of a changing world.
Learning what dying well entails, what it asks of us, will transform our lives and support us in becoming deeper people. It will help us meet our dying time when it arrives.
It also turns out be be essential when we are called upon to provide care for someone dying. It helps us to have a better understanding of the terrain they're navigating in coming to terms with their approaching death.
Too, preparing for death deepens our willingness and capacity to meet a changing world by supporting us to make friends with uncertainty and change.
Along with the logistical steps of ‘getting our house in order’, we will engage in the emotional/psychological steps toward deepening and healing relationships with oneself and with others, and the spiritual work for completing one’s life and leaving in peace.
This training has the possibility to transform both your life and your death.
This training is for all those who wish to prepare for their dying time and their death; for those who may care for a dying loved one at some point; those who currently work in the fields of caring for the dying and their families; those wishing to, or are being called to work in these fields; those who care about the world; and those who may die one day.
"To step through the avoidance, aversion and denial of death that permeates our culture and begin the work of preparing for death...is to step through a doorway that leads to deeper living."

“We will die and we don't know when. Everyone we love and care about will die and we don’t know when. How and whether we use this information will shape the course of our lives, our relationships and our attunement to the sacred. It will shape who we are as a community and how we care foreach other now…and when we are dying.”
–Reverend Bodhi Be
Ram Dass and Reverend Bodhi Be
Our values
We are here to help , at whatever stage of the journey you may find yourself in. We are here to listen and support you in some of life's most precious and difficult moments.
We are bringing forth options for after-death care that are natural, holistic, and environmentally sustainable.
We seek to re-invent and revolutionize the funeral home and the funeral industry, transforming the “business of dying” and returning it to “sacred service”.
We work with community organizations, such as local hospices, hospitals, non-profits, and religious organizations in growing and deepening care for the aging and the dying.
