Education

Education about end-of-life choices is our primary objective. The Crestone End of Life Project (CEOLP) vision is anchored in mindful and compassionate service, empowerment of group members and those we serve, and reverent openness towards the great mystery of the ‘death journey’ and its teachings.

Education is the most important aspect of our work:

• To educate ourselves about end-of-life choices so that we can provide accurate information to those we serve
• To learn the skills needed to accurately complete end-of-life documents
• To train in all aspects of end-of-life service regarding preparation and care of the body in repose and its disposition
• To develop sensitivity and skillfulness in working with those who request our services
