Sentience

The quality of being able to experience feelings

Presence

A person or thing that exists or is present in a place but is not seen

Reciprocity

The practice of exchanging things for mutual benefit

For those accompanying the dying, the ability to hold space and to be present are essential elements, yet they are often elusive concepts to understand how to develop further. The Reciprocity of Sentience and Presence is designed to help strengthen these innate abilities we all possess. We can come to further understand our organic relationship with this infinite, yet invisible, aspect of integrative knowingness.

The body itself, the vessel that carries our mortality, is the source of great wisdom. It is here with us in this lifetime to work in tandem with our brain, and is an essential part of our thinking and feeling mind. Nature has endowed us with powerful tools, often dormant in our understanding of ourselves. Once re-awakened, this knowledge can help us to embrace a more vibrant and authentic experience of living, connected to the energetic world we are a part of. The exploration to remember and reinforce these fundamental aspects of our own true nature will help to foster healing, well-being, and a sense of safety and security. We will reconnect with our innate wisdom, re-kindling a more profound knowingness; an embodied and empowered sense of self. This is not only of great benefit to us individually, it also deepens our ability to hold space for others.

The Vigil Circle is the beating heart of the Seventh Sense. All partners in this collective are deeply committed to creating a sacred bond with those we accompany at the end of life. The intention of this circle is to learn ways we can foster safety as we cradle others with the utmost dignity, and as we hold space for the dyingperson.

Over the course of three Sundays, May 18, May 25 and June 1, we will gather at the Seventh Sense home for the second cohort of our Vigil Circle Training. This training is offered gratis to those who want to become volunteers with us in any capacity, and it is not necessary to have trained as a death doula in order to join. Daily workshops from 3-5pm will be followed by a potluck from 5-6pm.

Further details regarding the potluck and address information will be sent prior to the first gathering. Registration will be limited to 8 people
