The wisdom traditions teach us that embracing aging, decline, and death brings into focus what matters most now. The Shared Crossing Pathway invites you to embrace death and experientially prepare for this greatest of human mysteries.

Do you want a conscious, connected, and loving end of life for yourself and your loved ones?  Are you or someone you care about afraid of dying and or curious about what might come next?  Do you want to learn how to prepare for the best death possible?

Our society is more fast paced than ever. We barely have time to prepare for next week, let alone for the end of life.  Moreover, we’ve lost any familiarity with what occurs at the end of life or how to adequately get ready for it, let alone thoughts about an afterlife.

The truth is that, despite the fact that we are all going to die, we now live in a death-denying culture.  Most of us have absolutely no idea how to prepare for death psychologically or spiritually, and most of us feel uncomfortable even bringing the subject up in conversation.

The problem is that death has become unfamiliar and uncomfortable to us, even frightening.  And this has left us wholly unprepared for the inevitable moment when we or those we care about will die.

The Shared Crossing Pathway teaches compassionate and effective practices that will put you and your loved ones at ease around the many topics related to end of life. The Pathway will guide you to a deeper connection with loved ones and a greater appreciation for the gift of life.

By the end of this 4-day intensive workshop, you will:

• Reduce your anxiety and fear around death and dying
• Acquire an ease in being around friends and loved ones who are dying
• Learn to embrace death and receive its many profound gifts
• Prepare to engage with death in a conscious, connected, and loving way whenever it comes
• Access gratitude for your heartfelt connection with your loved ones
• Awaken to the many spiritual experiences available to the dying and their loved ones and the end of life
• Learn and practice the groundbreaking Shared Crossing Protocols©, that are the hallmark of the Pathway program, to share in the initial stages of the afterlife of you loved one’s crossing over (the shared death experience)

We invite you to join us in discovering the wealth of what shared death experiences have to offer.

By better understanding death, dying, and what lies beyond, we can more fully appreciate life, love, and living in the present moment.  And we can prepare ourselves and our loved ones for the best death possible.

What people are saying … 

Opened a Door to Another Dimension
“The group was full of supportive information that served as a comfort to me and created the container in which to process my grief. In a society that doesn’t address crossing over questions, one can be left feeling bewildered and alienated after loss of a loved one. The group explores, acknowledges, and supports all the unanswered questions. It opened the door to another dimension that I hope others will get to experience through this important work.”
– Jeannie R.

A Beautiful Rite of Passage
“Most importantly for me is the impact this group has directly for people and their families, because with more of an understanding and acceptance of death, dying, and afterlife, they can start to have conversations they otherwise wouldn’t have with their families. In so doing perhaps they can experience death and dying as the beautiful rite of passage it is and be a part of mindful, peaceful passings with their loved ones.”
