Half daylong description: Together we will explore an experiential overview to the contemplative path of caregiving, grieving and conscious dying. This developmental approach is devoted to realizing our inherent wholeness; including motivation, embodied mindfulness, devotion and compassion, tantric empowerment and finally non-duality. Our time will include guided meditations and experiential exercises in addition to group discussion.
Bio: RamDev Dale Borglum is the founder and Executive Director of the Living/Dying Project in the San Francisco Bay Area www.livingdying.org/. He is a pioneer in the conscious dying movement, having taught with Ram Dass, Stephen Levine, Joan Halifax, Jack Kornfield, Joseph Goldstein, and Rev. Wayne Muller, among others. And has worked directly with thousands of people with life-threatening illnesses and their families for over 30 years. In 1981, Dale founded the first residential facility in the United States, The Dying Center, for people who wished to die consciously.
He has taught and lectured extensively on the topics of spiritual support for those with life-threatening illness, on caregiving as a spiritual practice, and on healing at the edge — the edge of illness, of death, of loss, of crisis. Dale has a BS from UC Berkeley and a PhD from Stanford University. He is the co-author of Journey of Awakening: A Meditator’s Guidebook and has taught meditation for the past 35 years.
He has intensively immersed himself in the practices of devotion, meditation, and contemplative prayer for over forty years, studying with many of the greatest masters of the last century including Neem Karoli Baba, Suzuki Roshi, Ananda Mayee Ma, Kalu Rinpoche, the 16th Karmapa, Dilgo Khyentse, Mahasi Sayadaw, Tsoknyi Rinpoche, Trungpa Rinpoche, Goenka, Dudjom Rinpoche and HH the Dalai Lama. His life’s work and passion has been and continues to be the healing of our individual and collective relationship with death and using our mortality as an inspiration for spiritual awakening.
