Conversations on Death: Dying in America
http://www.ndbroadcasting.org/program.php?id=2905
Program Description:
For most people the thought of death evokes feelings of fear, sadness, anger and anxiety. Despite daily proof of human mortality, death is a taboo in our society, and as a result there are many who face their final days unprepared emotionally, psychologically, or spiritually, and very much afraid. The Zen Hospice Project, featured on Bill Moyers special PBS series On Our Own Terms: Moyers on Dying, has been changing how Americans view death, and helping people pass from life with dignity and grace. In the fall of 2000, the Institute on Dying, a program of Zen Hospice Project, presented a series of lectures and workshops with some of the leading spiritual teachers, artists, storytellers and psychologists for an in-depth exploration and re-visioning of dying in America. In this special collection of highlights, we learn from these death and dying counselors how we can return death to its honored and sacred place in our lives and in our culture. 1 hour
