A workshop with Jami Sieber and Redwing Keyssar, for all levels of care-givers and care-receivers who wish to deepen our relationships to living and dying.

The MERI CENTER for Education in Palliative Care at UCSF Mt Zion is thrilled to offer this introductory workshop as part of Re-Imagine End of Life week in San Francisco. We ALL will be in positions to be "end of life doulas" at some time--assisting friends and loved ones in the dying process, yet most people have little training or understanding about what it means to "show up" at this delicate part of our life on earth. This workshop will be a first step in facing our own mortality, which is key to serving others. The day will include music, mindfulness, poetry and sharing of collective wisdom to foster confidence and resiliency as we care for our friends, family, and community at the end of life. We will: • Explore our relationships to mortality • Understand how our personal myths and beliefs about living and dying affect our lives and our roles as care-givers and as those with serious illness • Understand basic signs and symptoms of the dying process • Be prepared to show up for our loved ones in the process of aging and dying Offered by: Redwing Keyssar, RN, Author, Director of Patient and Care-giver Education at the MERI Center for Education in Palliative Care at UCSF. Redwing has 30 years of experience as a "midwife to the dying," nurse, educator and presenter.

Jami Sieber, RN, is an internationally known electric cellist, composer and vocalist. Jami's music offers a portal into healing that is unique and exceptional. She is also seasoned in hospice and palliative care.
