A Non-Profit, Community-based, All Faith, Spiritual and Educational Organization
founded on the essential truths that:
All Life Is Sacred.
Who We Truly are, The Soul, The Essential Self, Is Eternal.
The Death of Our Bodies is a Sacred and Spiritual Passage.
- Healing our relationship with death
- Bringing forth options for end-of-life care and after-death care that are wholistic, environmentally sustainable, community and family based, and spiritually inclusive.
- Supporting, educating and empowering families and communities in reclaiming the sacred work of end-of-life care and after-death care and in bringing forth unique rituals and ceremony.
- Becoming a community resource for: (a) those in our community who are living with a life threatening illness, (b) care-givers to the dying, (c) those grieving the loss of a loved one, (d) those wishing to explore their own approaching death (e) those elders with wisdom to share with us.
- Providing information on the rights and choices for those approaching death, including hospice care, living trusts, wills, advanced health care directives, ethical wills, power of attorney, sea burials, organ donation, home burial and direct cremation, euthanasia.
- Working with current community organizations, such as local hospices, hospitals, non-profits and religious organizations in growing and deepening care for the aging and the dying.
- Training a community of volunteer caregivers to the dying, and home-funeral facilitators.
- Sharing the many ways indigenous peoples and religious traditions view end-of-life care, after death care, and the afterlife.
- Establishing a “dying center”, to include a “green, conservation” cemetery, crematory, ceremony hall, school and retreat facility.
- Encouraging individual exploration into that which dies and that which is eternal. What is our true nature? Who are we really? And in making a connection to the soul, the essential nature, how does that inform the life we live?
- Creating businesses that support this work.
