End-of-Life Education

Our culture rarely teaches us how to face death, and so we meet it unprepared. This is a place to learn gently, before the moment arrives. Here you'll find short films, teachings, and reflections on death, dying, advance care planning, and the many quiet questions that gather at the end of life. Take what speaks to you, and let it soften what once felt frightening. 

In preparing for death, we awaken to the gift of life.
