A Good Death: An Interview with Stephen Jenkinson
Apr 26, 2019-- Author of Die Wise: A Manifesto for Sanity and Soul, and subject of the documentary Griefwalker, palliative care counselor and theologian Stephen Jenkinson invites us to contemplate the mystery and meaning of a "good death" so we may more fully embrace life. Drawing on Buddhism and the ancestral wisdom of indigenous people, Jenkinson ponders the ways in which Western individualism has contributed to a death-phobic culture.

Learn more about the enlightening experiences and perspective of the Griefwalker in this thought provoking interview. (20563 reads)
