End of Life Spirituality

Catalog description

Taught by JST. In this class students will learn to work with people and families at the end of life, including spiritual care assessments, practical matters, prayers and blessings, bathing and other rituals, and burials/memorials. We will explore our current maps of the life and death process, our needs as human beings and spiritual beings in crisis, and the tools we have to offer. We will focus on the cultivation of skillful means for coping with these intense transitions, and prepare ourselves to serve others with these skills.
