Death as Medicine

This event is a powerhouse combination of two different, yet complimentary, perpectives. A live streamed webinar hosted by Dr. Andrea Deerheart brings together elements of heart-centered exploration of mortality that culminates in clarity and presence. After a light lunch, the screening of a Canadian documentary brings it all together, showcasing experiences of those who work in palliative care and highlighting the grace that often surrounds those who are dying. We will discuss this question: what if death is an opportunity? What if it is not something to be avoided, but rather, a once-in-a-lifetime experience to learn from.

Info: Presented by Dr. Andrea Deerheart from "CHI Science & Healing Circles", this workshop style educational session encourages the holistic healing modality of contemplative practice, transforming fear into clarity, contraction into presence and avoidance into alignment. Full information package on this non-profit organization will be provided to participants.

Info: A Canadian documentary produced in Nova Scotia, this beautifully curated film brings it all together, integrating the soul healing work that we learned about from Dr. Deerheart into the real world of graceful death. Breathtakingly authentic.

Info: You will have an opportunity to continue your study in normalizing the conversation about death and dying through the introduction of future education events. The importance of working through Alberta health care's "Green Sleeve" will be discussed at the end of our afternoon together
