Die and Become 

~ Bridging the Sacred Threshold ~

An Interactive Workshop Series with Linda Bergh and Jolie Hanna Luba 

We can each be a bridge, now and always
For our own soul in its journey, its confusion, its longing
For the living who are suffering in losing their known ways to be
For the beloved dead on their journey in the spirit world 
- Linda Bergh

Course Description:

Today’s world often disconnects and disenfranchises us from death, bringing fear and feelings of loss and separation. In the last century, birth and death were removed from the home and taken to the hospital. The distance from the home made death such a taboo that people are afraid to even talk about it. However, Rudolf Steiner’s spiritual science along with Indigenous knowledge brings us into deeper connection with the spiritual world with those who have crossed the threshold and with our own life and death journey.

This series is an opportunity to make time in a safe space to explore the theme of death and dying.
