Answers to the question, \u201cWhat is Dying Today?\u201d are as diverse as the multitude of people who are doing the asking and the answering. Although it may seem that discussions about death are not happening in our contemporary Western culture, that is far from true. These important conversations are happening. With The Way of Conscious Death, our work and our joy is to keep expanding and integrating these conversations.<\/p>\n
