Host Robyn Shanti speaks with Dale Borgium, Director of the Living/Dying Project and Betsy Toll, founder/director of Living Earth, about Healing at the Edge: Practices for Living and Dying, a workshop sponsored by Living Earth on October 28 and 29: Friday: 7:00-9:00 pm & Saturday: 9:30 am-4:30 pm, First Unitarian Church Eliot Center, 1011 SW 12th Avenue, Portland.
At some point in life, each of us will face an edge – a precipice that arises from illness, trauma, grief, addiction, or spiritual yearning, or some a combination of those conditions. That edge is perilous, challenging our deeply held beliefs about life and death, purpose and meaning, about self and existence and whatever it is we hold sacred. Yet is also holds the hidden possibility of healing, of coming to a greater acceptance of our full human experience, and a profound sense of wholeness and meaning.
Dale Borglum has more than thirty-five years’ experience working with individuals who are dying or confronting the spiritual upheaval that accompanies trauma, change, and loss. 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 that erupts due to illness, death, or crisis.
