The Shared Crossing Pathway Retreat
Learning and guidance—at any stage of life—that prepares one for a conscious, connected, and loving end-of-life experience.
In a contemplative setting that’s conducive to inner exploration, we will integrate the wisdom traditions —Eastern and Western—from ancient to modern times. You will have opportunity for deep reflection in preparing for a conscious, connected, and loving end-of-life experience—at any age. We also teach participants the Shared Crossing Protocols designed to facilitate the Shared Death Experience.
This retreat offers a very personal, relationship-oriented exploration into the eventuality of one’s death. It is designed for individuals at any stage of life who wish to mindfully prepare for this great mystery. We encourage participants to consider doing this retreat with a loved one, friend, or caregiver, as this can greatly enrich relationships and prepare them together for end of life. This is conscious preparation for “a good death.”
We'll be using guided visualization, dyad and small group work, lecture, and discussion during our time together. Some homework is assigned such as reading and watching related videos. You can view the full program content here.
