3/16/2023 0 Comments Carrying a message about deathRecently, I was a guest speaker for a class at Nipissing University. The class is Death, Dying and Spirituality in End-of-Life Care.
Taught by my friend Susan Srigley, of the awesome Death Ambassadors and Nipissing University, this course has been a symphony of human rights, compassionate reflection and practice building. It has been a pleasure to see this class of future helpers grow and seize their own way forward to support death and dying. Emerging from this cold season has brought all the things to the surface. I am grateful for the time spent gathering winter medicines. Taking this course and having the stress free experience of studying and learning has been the winter medicine I needed to help me dive into each Monday with a plan. Speaking to students is always a privilege and the stories I share from my bundle have come from a lifetime of lived experiences from generational impacts. It is an honour to share time with students and something that I always look forward to. 2023 began with a bang of excitement and activity and the response to this business I call my heartwork continues to leave me awestruck.
