Seven time Emmy award-winning composer/producer and HCF member, Gary Malkin has always loved the magic that arises from the alchemy of pictures and music. A series of life-changing events inspired Gary to create media to heal the spirit and strengthen the soul. One of his company's most inspiring works to date has been the CD Graceful Passages." This video includes a clip that takes the beauty of the Graceful Passages music and then adds images to create a most inspiring video -- adding a whole new dimension to the beauty of this inspiring work, which is so prevalently used in end-of-life care situations. This video describes Wisdom of the World's intention and vision to bring the spoken word of the world's most respected 'wisdom keepers'. Continuing on from where Graceful Passages left off, which included visionaries such as Ram Dass, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, Zalman Schacter-Shalomi - and other well-known people of great presence. These wisdom keepers were invited to speak extemporaneously. Listening to these remarkable people speak from the heart about life and death was an unforgettable experience for Gary and his staff. It was pure inspiration to witness. See "A Good Day", a video in the HCF library, that is another example of Gary's work. Wisdom of the World (WOW) is a global media publishing company, creating products that touch people's lives. To learn more about their vision visit their website. HVA has been selected as a WOW Beneficiary and will be collaborating with WOW to further their vision. More on this as it develops.

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
