Our Offerings

We teach mindfulness and compassion to improve well-being and care.

Our work, drawing from over 30 years of experience in hospice and end of life care, is grounded in the expression
of the universal values of compassion and service. We teach caregivers to use mindfulness-based tools to improve
well-being, and through conversation, we inspire each other to live fully in the face of the universal experience of loss.

Mindful Caregiving Education

Our courses improve care by helping caregivers build emotional resilience and work skillfully with stress and loss.

Library of Resources

Check out our library of free videos and caregiver listings

Over the last few years, we have compiled many resource lists, recordings, tips, and stories that have helped those who recently found themselves in a caregiving role to a full-time caregiver.

We have videos on topics such as Self Compassion, Working with Grief, Building Resilience, and Managing Difficult Emotions. There are also blogs about our work and lists of palliative and hospice organizations as well as other caregiving support sites.
