  It takes courage to lower our defences and to meet the other where they are at – while being aware of, yet not overwhelmed by our own fears, sadness, insecurities or feelings of unease. In this workshop, you will learn practical ways to support dying people. Weaving together the knowledge of hospice and palliative care, the sacred wisdom of the Buddhist tradition and hands-on experience, Kirsten DeLeo offers compassionate guidance that will support you to stay present in the face of suffering and respond to the dying person’ needs.

  This event was planned as a weekend workshop. Kirsten will offer it now as a live online event which will include 3 live talks and 2 live group sessions with Q &A plus recorded meditations you can download.
