Keeping vigil with one who is in their final days can be holy and sacred ground. In this very special session, we share about the practice of keeping vigil and the benefits of being present. Nina Guertin, trained End-of-Life/Death Doula, has over 25 years of experience. She will be leading our session and speak about creating vigils and rituals for before and after death that include the healing arts.
