What do mindfulness and end-of-life care have in common?

Both teach us how to stay rooted, to respond rather than react. These are useful skills in tumultuous times.

We don't see it as political. We just see it as the privilege of caring for each other.

Free workshop this Thursday!

Empathy is more than kindness or understanding—it is the felt experience of being with another, allowing their reality to touch our own. Empathy helps us connect, resolve conflict, and nurture meaningful relationships.

It's not always about death. It's always about life. They're on the same circle.

5 years now, when I dream about him, it's often at this age, although he was married and a father himself when he died.
