Conversations With Karen
Monday April 27, 2020
on Zoom
Shamanic teacher and practitioner Karen Furr hosts a weekly interview or conversation show. During this hour Karen talks with other Shamanic practitioners about their unique work.
I spoke to Karen about how I began doing End of Life work and very specifically about the work I am doing with Covid 19 patients who are dying in alone in hospitals. I also talked about the work that I am doing directly with the energy of the virus.

In this chapter, I discuss the roots of caring for the dying from a modern western perspective as well as the shamanic perspective. I describe working at the bedside of patients who are dying. I include some of the protocols I use to ease transition at the end of life.
Spirited Medicine is an exciting contribution to the integration of the ancient healing system of shamanism into modern Western society. Most of its authors are dually trained as both healthcare providers and shamanic practitioners, and collectively they offer a broad framework and powerful clinical examples of how to attend to the soul of those who fall ill.
This book brings shamanism forward from its historic and animistic origins into a broad range of Western medical settings: surgery, psychotherapy, rehabilitation medicine, family medicine, naturopathy, osteopathy, hospice care, private practice and a general medical clinic.

Lessons for the Living shows that the dying have a great deal to offer the living. Ten hospice volunteers each tell a story about the mysterious act of dying and how it has affected his or her life. However small or great these moments spent with the dying are, these volunteers' lives have been changed forever.
I am one of the hospice volunteers filmed by Lily Henderson and her crew. We discussed why I do hospice work and what I have learned from the patients and their families and what it means to me.
