We educate through cultivating presence and compassion within a context of self-caring, expressed through the principles of Connection, Appreciation, Renewal and Enjoyment. The practice of presence brings the practitioner into the moment, while the expression of compassion to self and others is itself a healing practice.

We have discovered, in both personal and professional life, stress is reduced and presence is increased by honoring heart and mind, art and science, and integrating both hemispheres of the brain- an approach reinforced by our audio CDs.

Our distinguished educators and inspirational speakers deliver messages, combined with music, which relax, inspire, and motivate the listener to remember what is most meaningful in their profession.

We believe that a significant root cause of suffering in our culture is the fear and denial of death, and the avoidance of the conversation of our mortality. While progress in this area is being made, symptoms of this denial are still prevalant both in society in general and within healthcare. We have determined the most effective way to ease this suffering is by educating and supporting those who care for others on their healing journey.

As further reinforcement of this support, we offer on-site workshops, retreats, and conference presentations, as well as offer referral to off-site renewal retreats.

Thank you for everything you do to help care for others on their journey through this world- and when the time comes, if it is given you to be a part of their transition, for helping support their journey from this world.

It is enormous work to care for others, particularly in today's healthcare system. The needs of the care practitioner are often the last to be recognized and responded to. Whatever your role may be, our intention is to help you in caring for your journey.


Sincerely,


Michael Stillwater
