This is an astonishing time in human history. As we watch old-world institutions (and ways of being) that are based on unsustainable beliefs and values fall away, I’m still comforted with the knowledge that nothing new can emerge without letting go of the things that no longer serve us. The wisdom of the dying process - allowing and accepting the natural process of things coming to its end - is appropriate to mention at this time. Everything has its life cycle, including a narrow way of seeing the world as the sum of disconnected parts. While there is great suffering in the world, there is also a profound shift in consciousness going on all over the planet, a shift towards a more inclusive and connected global worldview. To see an exciting video trailer of the shift that I'm talking about, view this trailer and see for yourself (I was asked to produce the music for this trailer, and I’m also proud to be one of the interviewees in it as well!).

    This video is very inspirational and so needed. As volunteers and service workers, we should always remember that service is win-win for us and the recipients of what we give. Service is our opportunity to positively change the world.

Just Published!!
by Rashani Rea & Kathy Douglas

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
