SUMMARY:Healing at the Edge: Conscious Living\, Conscious Dying – Presented by Dale Borglum\, PhD [1 DAY WORKSHOP] [CO-SPONSORED]
DESCRIPTION:NARRATIVE: \nFor 35 years I have been blessed to be in close contact with many people who were approaching death. Almost all of these people were reaching out for healing – healing in relationship to death\, healing in relationship to illness\, in relationship to a wounded heart\, to separation from their own self. My consuming interest\, both personally and professionally\, has been the healing process. Why do some people experience wholeness as they approach death\, while others lose themselves in denial\, depression\, distraction? Why is it that some of the most alive and awake Westerners I’ve known have been\, almost without exception\, people near death? Is there some powerful truth about life and about healing that you and I can receive from these few who\, as they went through the process of dying\, deeply realized their own wholeness? \nBringing emotional/spiritual support to someone with a life-threatening illness is a twofold task.  First\, help the client realize they are more than that which will die – the finite self – the body and personality. At the same time\, honor this finite self\, healing its woundedness\, its identification with separateness. Rumi said “Grief is the garden of compassion.” This transmuting separateness of grief into the connectedness of compassion is that the heart of the work. Confusion\, anxiety\, depression\, anger are typical responses arising as the end of a life approaches\, both for patients and their families. \nThis presentation will explore possibilities for realizing wholeness at the edge of life where illness\, grief\, and loss arise. Both psychological and spiritual tools will be used in the investigation of these profound and challenging issues. We will offer participants the opportunity to explore the deeper questions surrounding death\, healing\, and the sacred\, so that each of us can better embody an enlivened sense of being in the world in each moment rather than a sense of isolation and denial. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES:  \nUpon completion of this workshop\, participants should be able to: \n\nDescribe the defining characteristics of compassion.\nDistinguish between compassion and pity.\nFully understand the somatic foundation for being able to let go of identification with separateness.\nUnderstand how to transmute the separateness of grief into the connectedness of compassion.\nBe familiar with several contemplative practices that will help a client transmute fear of dying into acceptance.\nSkillfully work with one’s own fear of death as it is resonated by the client’s situation.\nEnable one’s client to use the prognosis of a life-threatening illness as an opportunity to become more present and alive.\n\nCOURSE OUTLINE – 1 Day Workshop – 8 hrs.: \n8:45 – 9:00 am    \nRegistration \n9:00 – 10:00 am  \nOverview of the healing paradigm-motivation\, invocation\, awareness\, grounding\, centering\, compassion\, empowerment\, wholeness. \n10:00 – 11:00 am \nMotivation for healing.

We will explore how identification with ego structure and fear of death are intimately connected.\nThe aim of psychological practice traditionally is to create a healthier\, efficiently functioning mind and particularly a healthy ego structure. In the potentially profoundly transformative time at the end of life\, healing and understanding that transcend egoic concern are often more available than at any other time in a person’s life. The appreciation of this possibility is of central importance to those supporting clients who might be approaching death.\nThe target audience is clinical social workers\, marriage and family therapists\, psychologists and nurses working with patients confronting a life-threatening illness\, their loved ones\, and those grieving. Instruction summarizes introductory and intermediate foundational concepts which then leads to advance content for the majority of the workshop.\nThe materials presented during this workshop have been developed and utilized during 40 years of working directly with thousands of dying clients\, their families and their caregivers. As well\, these materials have been presented during trainings at hundreds of hospitals and hospices throughout North America. The efficacy of this content is limited by the willingness of the client to explore the possibility of deep transformation during a time of great crisis. The effects of opioid analgesic medication and also bodily symptoms that often accompany the end stages of terminal illness both can limit the transformative power of the materials presented. The only risk that has been encountered is that occasionally when a client is consciously working with her fear of death\, long repressed difficult emotions can burst forth in her physically weakened condition requiring great sensitivity on the part of the practitioner.\nDr. Borglum spent years as a group facilitator at San Quentin Penitentiary and as an AIDS/HIV counselor at High General Hospital in Oakland. At both of these facilities there was a wide range of race\, sexual orientation\, and socioeconomic backgrounds represented. When supporting a client who is confronting a life-threatening illness\, conditioned emotional patterns inherent in different backgrounds and orientations often mask the deeper underlying fear of death. Cultivating deeper awareness and compassion through the lecture and experiential materials presented during this workshop will enable participants to distinguish between cultural\, individual\, and role differences on the one hand\, and\, on the other\, inherent fear of death.\n\n  \n\nCOST:  \nOne Day – 8 CEs\, $175 \nYou may register online by visiting www.livingdying.org\, and clicking on Healing at the Edge: Conscious Living/Conscious Dying.
