Yet twenty-five years of caring for people and their families at the edge of life has shown her that death is both a time of clarity and a time of mystery. Those who accompany people to the edge of life may find there a deeper sense of life’s mystery, majesty and meaning and develop the wisdom to live in deeper and more fulfilling ways. Drawing from her experience as a therapist to people facing death and their families, Dr. Remen will share stories of death, healing and mystery to enable us to revisit our unanswered questions and strengthen a sense of aliveness, wonder and awe in our daily work. Come prepared to encounter the unknown, to wonder, and to see yourself and your work differently.
