SUMMARY:3rd Thursday Spiritual Forum: Death as Teacher
DESCRIPTION:Third Thursday Spiritual Forum:\nDeath as Teacher\n \nThe
 re are only two things absolutely certain in life: birth and death. De
 ath is potentially one’s greatest teacher. This presentation will fo
 cus on the deaths of loved ones and one’s own looming death as great
  opportunities for spiritual learning. The presenter, Karen van Vuuren
 , has worked for 17 years in elder care, hospice, holistic end-of-life
  care, and natural death care. There will be reflective and interactiv
 e exercises to explore our overt and subconscious beliefs about death.
  Clips will be shown from two educational documentaries written and pr
 oduced by the speaker - Dying Wish and Go in Peace. Karen will discuss
  the lessons about the ingredients for a peaceful transition out of th
 is world, distilled from this work. She will end with stories of spiri
 tual transformation through “being with death” through caring for 
 our own dead.\n \nPresenter Biography\nKaren van Vuuren is a former b
