CONNECTING THROUGH THE HEARTDr. Charles A. Garfield

The following article is excerpted from a talk given by Charles Garfield to End-of-Life Counselors at Zen Hospice in San Francisco in a training on service.

The purpose of this program is to train spiritual counselors to be teachers, advocates, and guides at the end-of-life. In a sense, all of this talk about end-of-life care is an excuse for talking about conscious living. I don't mean to avoid death and dying, and I'm not downplaying it. This is a very important and necessary task we're embracing here together.
