What keeps you up at night about loss, death, and dying? Sacred Bonds: Seeking Light, Gathering Light, Becoming Light are your companions when you want to shift and transform your fears and anxieties around these taboo topics and move toward ease and peace of mind. Glimpse the most important journey of your life—embracing loss, death, and dying—through stories, prose poems, dialogues, meditations, and letters. Full-color nature photographs and guided activities enhance textual meaning.
Creating a sacred bond—a revered commitment—means deeply exploring your relationships with your higher power; with your ego; with other energies and matter; and with loss, death, and dying. Cultivating these relationships leads to living life more fully.
External observations, internal pondering, and integrating change expands your awareness as you are seeking, gathering, and becoming light through this book series. Themes of Revelation, Release, and Remergence are common threads.
Symbolism is important and amplifies our memory. A universal lotus flower symbolizes growth in awareness around self, loss, death, and dying. The spiral represents our personal spiritual journey, and the sun reflects our ever-increasing understanding. Engaging in a relationship with death and dying makes us feel like we have some autonomy.
Not doom and gloom, this is the start of looking at loss, death, and dying differently. We prepare for every other milestone in life—why not see death and dying as part of the natural lifecycle? This delicate time of life does not represent failure, as many believe; rather, it is a time for sharing the sacred: love, forgiveness, bonding, personal insights, and wordless support.

Remergence Workshops
I was so moved in the presentation of everything is energy. I learned of other methods of burial, death, loss, and that change is growth. I loved the PowerPoint slides. It made the flow easy to follow. I love the way the class shifted to accommodate everyone. I will use the pre-work activities again to see my growth. It made me think. The program was so valuable for the emotional and evolving space I am in. Helped me more than words can say!
Confidential Conversations
Thank you! I’ve had a great cognitive and emotional breakthrough thanks to you.
Remergence Workshops
Certainly I felt “shifted” by this work in a positive way. I valued the questions posed, activities suggested, and tying it all into the Chakra Centers. I like your calm and inviting teaching style, and you inspired my thinking along these lines. I valued my experience in taking this class and am interested in taking the next program.
Remergence Workshops
The workbook is an incentive to pursue your careful, meticulous, even rigorous program to focus on end-of-life issues with less fear and apprehension.
Remergence Workshops
I know the concept of greater energy…but this course helped me identify the work I have yet to do. Wonderful meditations and list of resources to explore!
Remergence Workshops
This course was so much more than I expected. I feel less separation in life. This incredible experience has put me on a new journey.
Remergence Workshop
We took the Remergence Workshops in 2018, and now, three years later, we face the reality of Mark’s mortality. Those workshops really helped us to make some hard decisions and deeply explore our feelings. Mark signed the POLST (Physician-Written Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment) and is now DNR/DNI status. The work you did to create such a special avenue to verbalize, we are at peace. THANK YOU!!
