Preparing Yourself and Another Through Immanency and Death

King David’s Masonic Lodge
859 Marsh Street, San Luis Obispo
Sponsored by Hospice of San Luis Obispo County, Provider 59590

Our modern culture, faiths and medical system do little to help us navigate the deep waters of dying and death. Attending to grief is often seen as the only thing one can do. Through lecture and participatory exercises, we will examine creating a conscious dying scenario that uplifts and brings an even deeper peace and transformation for parents and caregivers.

This course is appropriate for professionals, caregivers, family members or any person who wants to listen more deeply and attend to the body, mind, and spirit of the dying with greater clarity and peace.
Learning objectives:

  1. Participants will use a working model of the five element theory of Asian medicine and philosophy which identifies physical and emotional markers in the dying process, and will identify the changing nature of language through the dying process
  2. Participants will identify two methods of non-medical support during immanency.
  3. Participants will use dying and death preparatory exercises and meditations for both self-preparation or in working directly with immanency.
