EP 12: Death as a Rite of Passage - with Shamanic Practitioner Kitty Edwards

August 09, 2020 • Episode 12

Kitty Edwards, MA is the executive director of The Living & Dying Consciously Project. She is an Ayni Energy practitioner who helps those confronted by death find the courage to release their fears, and a graduate of Sandra Ingerman’s Core Shamanism and the Light Body School of The Four Winds Society. She is the co-founder of the No Regrets Project and Conversations on Death in Boulder, Colorado.

Preparing for death as a rite of passage requires courage and creativity. In this episode, Kitty talks about how to develop personal death awareness rituals based on the wisdom of ancient traditions as well as current research in the field. This work can expand our understanding of the psychological and emotional closure needed in the dying process, and. enable family members, caretakers, medical and hospice staff, grief counselors, and chaplains to more actively support the dying.
