This Fall’s Education Series, Death: The Final Stage of Growth, explores spiritual and transpersonal aspects of death and dying in its myriad forms.

“Spirituality is an awareness that there is something far greater than we are, something that created this universe, created life, and that we are an authentic, important, significant part of it, and can contribute to its evolution.”
– Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
When we come to terms with death as part of our human development, death provides us with a key to the meaning of our human existence.
With the guidance and inspiration from Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’ far-reaching, comprehensive, and thought-provoking legacy, we learn from international experts in the fields of grief and end-of-life to acknowledge and connect with the sensitive, original, insightful findings on death, dying, and the afterlife.
