In her fascinating book about the dying process, "The Call to the Far Shore", Nancy MacMillan reveals the very real imaginal world where nature, myth, dreams, ancestors, and those yet to be born whisper from the far shore, a place beyond our last breath".

She reminds us that caring for our dying consciously is a transformative act to replenish meaning within our place and purpose in the universe. 

"Through her own close encounters with the specter of death, Nancy shows how to follow the ancient wisdom of “learning to die before you die” and find a seaworthy passage to the far shore.
