Testimonials

“I find it interesting that one can spend three days on this course working with death and dying, and end up feeling at peace and warmed.  I can only muse that releasing fears and tensions around death and dying brings freedom  and peace.  I can also begin to see that one may feel at peace more when embracing dying becomes part of everyday life.  The course was very moving, but also provided a safe environment in which to experience and share.”

“I have come out of the three day course with a great sense of peace and gratitude. Yes – I know the subject matter would be viewed by many as disturbing, but the way it was handled, sensitivity, humour and challenge all combined to make it a life enhancing experience.”

“In the challenging experience of losing our mother, we felt held and supported within a loving and peaceful environment, as indeed did she”.

“In visiting daily I found the sense of peace surrounding the patient profound. In certain circumstances I am beginning to question: who do we give the drugs for at the end of life; the patient or the relatives?”

“I found this course deeply moving. The course leaders enabled us to talk about and listen to profound experiences shared in the group. To find that I could, if I so wished, say the almost unsayable around death and dying proved a great relief to me. I feel able to begin this work”.

“The course provided the opportunity to think and speak about death in a thoughtful caring way. It covered practical as well as spiritual aspects of the process. The heart qualities of the facilitators and the participants meant that the whole 3 day weekend was a wonderful experience, one that I look forward to sharing with my clients”.

“This course provided the final piece of a jigsaw for me – how to relate in very direct yet utterly compassionate terms, with those who are in the process of dying, and those who are trying to support them. The course also raised for me issues of my own and provided a framework in which to work them through. I feel very privileged to have been a part of it. “.

“Cathie Green delivered a 3 day course at the Camphill Community Clanabogan. I speak for all the 20 participants, that came from a varied cross section of Camphill communities and local care providers, in saying that the course was inspiring and opened a needed window to openly and freely converse about embracing death. Learning how to be a soul advocates Cathie shared an entire “tool kit” full of practical, emotional and spiritual resources.”
