OUR WORK

The Center for Conscious Living & Conscious Dying is a heart-centered and person-focused organization passionate about changing how we hold space for the tenderness of life and death.

Our mission is to offer transformative experiences and facilitate meaningful connections with dying, death, and grief.

We do this through our signature Apprenticeship With Death training program and retreat, and we love witnessing each person’s unique path in our community of authentic and compassionate learning.

Meet Rhea, the founder

I’m highly sensitive and love living a simple and deeply connected life. My personal motto is “Turtle Time”. I’m an introvert who is deeply passionate about bringing a heart-centered approach to the topics of dying, death, and grief. My desire is to create a greater sense of connectedness and spiritual depth in our practices and communities.

Working together in a community, we have the power to create environments filled with compassion where conscious, intentional, and transformative living and dying can be supported.

Rhea Mader

End of life practitioner, educator, and mentor
