Next training dates pending.
The Conscious End-of-Life Training Program offers a dynamic, fresh approach to end-of-life care under the direction of Domo Geshe Rinpoche, a western reincarnate lama in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Although key elements of these original teachings are based on ancient Buddhist principles, Level 1 of this training program designed for professionals, paraprofessionals, volunteers and other individuals, is open to anyone interested in care at the end of life regardless of their personal spiritual orientation.
Level 1: Prepares one in the basics of establishing the environment supportive of the patient, and energetically interacting with the person who is passing.
