Conscious Dying Collective’s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice
Statement
Each of us at The Conscious Dying Collective come to this work with different life experiences. We remain open and willing to work hard in order to gain a clearer, and more compassionate understanding for all beings, while recognizing that we may never fully do so. Thus, in spite of our lived experience we feel we have the knowledge and heart centered desire to create a program that will be openly accessible to all bodies. This cannot be done without thought, self-education and time.
We are committed to this type of growth and envision a culture that provides educational opportunities, jobs and access to ALL. We invite suggestions, ideas, thoughts and constructive criticism from our community to help us achieve this vision. The work around end-of-life is difficult in itself and it influences how each of us lives our lives. With this in mind, we do not want to knowingly or unknowingly erect any additional barriers to raising consciousness for the collective good.
