Where Sister Death brings life into exquisite focus

The “Dying to Live” Cabaret is a gathering both solemn and celebratory that orients participants to the four key body wisdoms of living and dying.

• Death’s role at the sacred center of life
• That dying is not a solo dance
• Dying requires a herd of angels
• We have an obligation to die wise.

Leaning into Death as a holy companion and teacher Cynthia and Stephen offer talks, workshops, seminars and retreats on that improvisation of a lifetime: living and dying.  With the essentials of art, love, and solemn joy they joke that Cynthia’s InterPlay tools help people get in their body and Stephen’s hospice work helps people get out! Together they have it covered!
