Palliative Care Workshops

What is death? The Anthroposophical approach to palliative care sees illness and end-of-life as having the potential for significant inner development and spiritual fulfilment. The process of dying is a path of gradual surrender, where we surrender the needs of our earthly everyday self, to concentrate on strengthening our inner, spiritual life.  Therefore, death is seen as a metamorphosis of life. The spirit sheds the physical body and is birthed back into the spiritual world. Rudolf Steiner stated: ‘As far as our physical senses are concerned, an entity comes into being with birth and passes away with death. But this is only because the outer senses cannot perceive the hidden spirit. For the spirit, birth and death are merely transformations, just as the burgeoning of a bud into a blossom is a transformation occurring before our physical eyes.’
