“No intelligent tourist would depart for a foreign land without a good guidebook giving instructions on basic preparations, necessary equipment, dangers and obstacles.” – Robert Thurman


We live with a cultural fear of death which offers no comfort to us in understanding how to receive death when it comes. We plan the days and years of our lives but somehow death gets left off the calendar.

What if we could find answers from working on a departure plan even if we don’t know where we’re going?

Few enter the dying process from a position of knowledge or strength yet information is, as always, power. So it makes sense to be as conscious about our own deaths as possible. The acceptance of mortality is an ancient challenge that each and every one of us will take up at some point - there's no escape.


What we call the beginning is often the end
And to make an end is to make a beginning.
The end is where we start from” – TS Eliot
