Created by Greg Schneider (See other events)
  • Jun 6, 2008 all day
  • Location: Zen Hospice Project Guest House
  • Latest Activity: Mar 9, 2021
As grief professionals, we are acutely aware of the fragility of life and inevitability of death. However, we rarely give ourselves space to breathe deeply and integrate the intensity of our experiences with the bereaved. Attending to the grief process of client after client requires setting aside time for reflection, discovery, and the sharing of the impact of our work in daily life. This workshop offers practical ways to deepen our sense of aliveness and meaning in our daily work. Participants will have an opportunity to identify and share their personal and professional experiences of loss, grief and transformation; their ideas of authentic service; and their ways of sacred connection. Appropriate for therapists, bereavement coordinators, social workers, volunteers, grief counselors, physicians, nurses, and others in the end-of life and bereavement professions. Continuing Education Credits available for $30. Provider approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing, Provider Number 8793, for 5 contact hours. Course meets the qualifications for 5 hours of continuing education credit for MFTs and/or LCSWs as required by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences. Continuing Education Provider Number 4241.

Those who companion suffering daily, such as hospice nurses and volunteers, will surely appreciate this beautiful work. With 62 original art collages by Rashani Réa, five beautiful chapters by Kathy Douglas, and a foreword by Jean Watson, this exquisite book is a peaceful refuge for contemplation, inquiry, reflection and inspiration for those who traverse the joys and sorrows of nursing.

Kathy Douglas, RN, MPH-HA is a nationally recognized nurse leader, filmmaker and entrepreneur. 

Rashani Réa is a prolific artist and musician, a creatrice of sanctuaries and a respected spiritual mentor.

“This is a beloved book and beyond a book. It is an evocative, poetic, ecstatic, and inspirited sacred, experiential calling. A calling to you--YES, YOU.” 

— Jean Watson, PhD, RN, AHN-BC, FAAN, Living Legend (AAN)

“Those who companion suffering daily need to turn inward to metabolize what they have witnessed. This exquisite book, filled with beautiful images and poetic wise words, is the inspiration and support needed to grow a wise heart.” 

— Frank Ostaseski, founder and director of the Metta Institute and author of The Five Invitations: Discovering What Death Can Teach Us About Living Fully

“In this unique time of the COVID-19 pandemic, this book should be considered a tribute to the tremendous courage being displayed by nurses around the world. There is much wisdom conveyed throughout by those who have been there serving others with such grace.” 

— Greg Schneider President, HVA, co-author of The Changing Face of Hospice Volunteering in Hospice and Palliative Care
