Healing at the Edge: Conscious Living, Conscious Dying

Imagine living without fear, fear of death consumed by direct contact with that which does not die. Imagine approaching the unknown with an open heart. There is a path to this freedom.

For 40 years Dale Borglum has been blessed to be in close contact with many people who were approaching death. Almost all of these people were reaching out for healing — healing in relationship to death, healing in relationship to illness, in relationship to a wounded heart, to separation from their own self. Are there some powerful truths about life and about healing that we can receive from these few who, as they went through the process of dying, deeply realized their own wholeness?

Dying and care-giving for self and for others are fundamentally spiritual processes. Here in the West, our use of ancient Eastern spiritual practices often doesn’t take into account the disembodied nature of modern life. Grounding, centering, developing compassion and appreciating the tantric sacred nature of reality are the foundation for a conscious life and a conscious death. How alive are you willing to be?

In this experiential workshop, we will travel the path to wholeness — the path that includes motivation, trust, compassion, empowerment, and ultimately, healing.  We will explore possibilities for healing at the edge of life where illness, grief, loss, addiction, and spiritual yearning arise. 

Guided meditative exercises that cultivate these stages of the path will be offered. Communication exercises that bring awareness and compassion to our unconscious resistance to healing also will be shared. Christian, Buddhist, devotional, and felt body energetics approaches will be honored. This presentation is designed for anyone deeply committed to healing.
