Kirsten DeLeo is the lead teacher for 'Authentic Presence,’ a certificate program in contemplative-based end-of-life care. Kirsten is trained in the Hakomi mindfulness-based somatic approach to psychotherapy and has served as a counselor supporting individuals with terminal illness and their families, hospice volunteer coordinator and educator at various healthcare and academic institutions. She is the author of the forthcoming book 'Heart Advice for Accompanying the Dying' by Shambhala Publications. In this experiential session, we will explore how we can meet a dying person where they are at - while being aware of, yet not run by our fears, insecurities or feelings of unease. Kirsten will share contemplative science, hands-on experience and key practices that can enable you to stay present with others while remaining open, spacious and centered in yourself.
