Living/Dying Project

Living/Dying Project The Living/Dying Project offers spiritual support to those faced with a life-threatening illness and for their caregivers (free of charge with volunteers).

Classes, workshops, and professional training are also offered throughout the year. This FB account is not managed by Ramdev Dale Borglum himself. History of the Living/Dying Project:

In 1976 Stephen Levine founded The Dying Project as part of The Hanuman Foundation. Shortly after founding the first organization in the Western world to actively promote conscious dying, Stephen was joined by Ram D

ass, Ramdev Dale Borglum, and Ondrea Levine. The Dying Project offered conscious support to people with life-threatening illnesses and also included a national call-in consultation hot-line. For many years after its inception, the Project was the only organization here in the West which advocated seeing the dying process as an opportunity for spiritual awakening and using caregiving for those with life-threatening illness as a spiritual practice. In 1981, as part of the Hanuman Foundation Dying Project, the Dying Center in Santa Fe, NM, was created. This was the first residential facility in the West to care for clients who wished to see their confrontation with death as an opportunity for awakening, rather than seeing death merely a tragedy. From 1981-1984 Dale Borglum, the founding Director of the Dying Center, guided the facility in which approximately 85 people were served free of charge. In 1986 Dale relocated the Project to its present location in Marin County and changed the name to The Living/Dying Project.The Open Circle program of the Project offers free-of-charge emotional and spiritual support to people with life-threatening illnesses and to those who care for them. As well, the Project has an educational component whose mission is to explore healing in the context of a life-threatening illness. Dale has trained thousands of hospice care workers, nurses, therapists, doctors, and volunteers in palliative care. Counseling with Ramdev Dale Borglum PhD is available via phone or Zoom.

Together at the Wild Edge of Sorrow with Francis Weller and RamDev Dale Borglum | Saturday, June 13 at 10AM PT 🙏✨

Grief is not a problem to be solved. It is a sacred threshold, a place where loss and love meet and where, if we are willing to stay present, something essential in us can be restored.

Join Francis Weller and RamDev Dale Borglum for an intimate virtual gathering exploring grief as a doorway into deeper aliveness, connection, and meaning. Drawing from decades of work in psychology, contemplative practice, ritual, and spiritual care, Francis and RamDev will offer reflections on how grief can open us more fully to life itself.

Francis Weller, author of The Wild Edge of Sorrow, has become one of the most trusted and influential voices in grief work today. RamDev Dale Borglum, founder of the Living/Dying Project, has spent more than forty years offering compassionate spiritual support to people facing illness, death, caregiving, and loss.

Together, they bring rare depth, warmth, and wisdom to one of the most universal human experiences.

Whether you are carrying a personal loss, supporting someone you love, or simply feeling the weight of these times, you are welcome here.

Open to all. Registration required.

Some traditions write the body off as a hindrance, an enemy on the path to awakening. What if we considered the body a doorway on the path, even our most sacred ally?

Wherever you find yourself in relationship to your body today, we are holding you in love. Now, and always.

We are so honored to welcome Lashanna Williams, Executive Director of , to our Speaker Series next month. 🙏

Lashanna’s work at the intersection of community, mutual aid, and liberation is the best of what is possible right now, and a real vision for where we are headed when we set our course hand in hand.

Join us live for a conversation about what community death care looks like in these times, and how we continue weaving networks of care outside of systems that no longer serve, and never did.

Shiva Baum was a kind, gentle, and radiant being, a devoted son, and a pillar of the global Bhakti community. We grieve his death with the countless others around the world who were touched by his heart and devotion.

A GoFundMe is posted to honor Shiva by supporting his beloved parents: Radha, for whom he was the primary caregiver, and Mohan. Please share this link widely and give if you can: https://www.gofundme.com/f/honor-shiva-baum-support-his-mother-radha-baum

You’re not broken. You’re anxious. There’s a difference.

Anxiety is your nervous system saying, “Hey, something here needs attention.”

The problem isn’t the anxiety. It’s the part of us that never learned to sit with it.

Lie down. No pillow. Flat. FEEL the sensations in your body without trying to fix it.

The sensations you’re avoiding are actually the gateway toward deep healing.
