Dying Consciously
|
Perhaps our most delicate of service is that of supporting those whose lives or those of loved ones are nearing a time of transition from this life. We are humbled and honored to offer Dying Consciously Rites to help support ease of transition.
The Greatest Journey is a free service dedicated to helping people die consciously, though your generous donation is greatly appreciated for this extremely hard work. This means that we seek to maintain consciousness intact through the journey of death and beyond. It is designed for all persons involved in the dying process: the individual, family members, and friends. It offers a message of hope that is possible to bring dignity and peace back to the dying process and teaches us how with easy to follow steps.

Celebration of Life/Funerals
Back in 2014 I created the event, A Celebration of Life – 2014. In an attempt to honor my soulmate, Geri, on the second anniversary of her transition. My intention was to gather people together that were struggling with grief and to create a healing environment. I had become aware of the native people’s ceremony of opening of Sacred Space through some people with whom I had experienced two very personal healing sessions using Sacred Space. And I was determined to start my event by opening Sacred Space to create a holy space for the gathering. So I contacted Denise Miller to perform this ceremony.
The celebration began with me honoring my soulmate Geri. Then I read a long list of names given to me by others who wished to honor their loved ones no longer on earth. Then I turned the event over to Denise. She did an outstanding job! She opened the gathering so beautifully, everyone felt it! She sang incredible, traditional honour songs for those who had passed, as well as singing the Strong Woman Song for my soulmate. Her voice is amazing!! It was so moving. During the ceremony the energy at this venue was palpable. I looked around the stage and all the musicians were wearing awestruck looks across their faces. At this point, I stepped back and said “Urban, your job here is done now go enjoy yourself.”
All afternoon various individuals that I had never previously encountered approached me with their grief stories… "In my family we don’t grieve… This is the first time I have grieved in 8 years… I found healing today!" The whole idea was to bring healing to the hurting and this was accomplished many times over… People heeded my call and got their friends there, the place was packed…
Thank you Denise for opening my event in such a powerful, sacred way and allowing for much healing to occur.
