Hospice SLO County invites you to attend a course on Being In The Time Of Dying: Preparing Yourself and Another Through Immanency and Death. This course will take place on Friday, October 6, 2017 from 9:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. (Doors open for attendee check-in at 8:30 a.m.)
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:
– Use five element theory of Asian medicine and philosophy
– Identify physical and emotional markers of the dying process, including language
– Identify non-medical support during immanency
– Dying and death preparatory exercises and meditations
