For August, host Gloria St John will be sharing a special presentation on Sacred Thresholds.

SACRED THRESHOLD: A Guide to Creating Sacred Time and Space for the Dying
“Sacred” – worthy of awe and respect
“Thresholds” – points of spiritual transition where time seems to stand still
Sacred Threshold is a guide to creating a sacred environment for dying whether at
home or in the hospital. The idea of the sacred is larger than, and separate from,
religion, although the two ideas have been confused, with the result that the
sacred has been systematically excluded from ordinary culture. Most end of life
preparation focuses on legal and medical preparation with little thought given to
the actual final time. Sacred Threshold shows how the weeks, days, and hours of
one’s death can be transformed into a more meaningful experience with
intention and the use of ordinary objects that soothe the senses. Although this
may not be desired by or possible for everyone, for those who want it, Sacred
Threshold makes it easy to prepare for this experience, whether one’s own or
another’s. Join Gloria St John in this clear and motivating PowerPoint
presentation.
