The Alaya Institute is established as a catalyst for individual and cultural change. Inspired by the Buddhist tradition we encourage the integration of the spiritual dimensions of living, dying and transformation through professional training, educational programs and materials.
The Alaya Institute is a new organization and outgrowth of the Zen Hospice Project (ZHP) nationally recognized as an innovative model in the movement to improve end-of life care. Our Director, Frank Ostaseski helped form ZHP in 1987 and guided the program for 17 years.
Currently, Alaya's primary program is the End-of-Life Care Practitioner Program, first developed in 2002 as a project of ZHP's Institute on Dying. The goal of the innovative training is to establish a national network of educators, advocates and guides for those facing life-threatening illness and the individuals and systems that serve them.
