SERVICE OFFERINGS
With a rich toolbox of practical exercises and activities, reflective prompts, meditations and other contemplative practices, our service offerings cover any or all of these four areas:
Living Fully –
What matters now
Being mindful and connecting with what matters most now enables you to live fully, regardless of circumstances and any health limitations. With openhearted curiosity, lean into what is right and possible now, learn skills to better manage pain and other symptoms, experience joy in simple pleasures, and set intentional priorities and goals.
Looking back –
Integrating the past
Taking time to reflect on and integrate the past can be deeply transformative. It offers you opportunities to celebrate, appreciate, forgive, grieve, and honor significant people, places, pets, personal milestones, and experiences throughout your life.
Creating legacy –
Being remembered
Reflecting on how you’d like to be remembered and bringing your full self to leave your legacy is profoundly rewarding. It also matters what and how you give your precious possessions or personal, creative expressions of yourself and your love.
Getting ready –
Preparing the finale
Befriending death and attending to the various details for when you die bring peace of mind. This can include, yet goes well beyond, completion of advance directives or estate planning. You will feel lighter and complete knowing the end is true to you.
