In keeping with the need to provide care for others, there is perhaps no more holy place than that provided for seniors in their golden years. We are continually seeking ways that we can encourage, uplift and engage our elders that will improve body, mind and spirit during times that can be so difficult.  Learning new ways to to interact mentally and spiritually can build bonds of friendship while  renewing human spirit.

All too often, the visitors to special homes lack purpose other than moments of social contact. And although there is certainly a need for the development of more advanced and focused meeting times, there is also a real need for returning to what spiritual support and trained comfort can provide. Being present for one another instead of using a telephone, conference call, or television screen makes us aware of our origin. Providing chaplian teaching and prayers strengthens our resolve to be stronger and more involved than we were yesterday. To share emotions safely, breath more deeply, and give of ourselves without the expectation of return, helps us grow in ways we could not imagine before we remove walls of silence that bind our minds and limit the discoveries of our souls.

We encourage all who are interested in this part of our mission endeavors to contact us. The need for chaplains, religious techers of all faiths, and care providers is great.  We regulalry provide workshops on palliative, assisted living, and hospice care.  Additionally there can be few legacies more rich and meaningful that estate planning that leaves a funds for providing a more joyful world for those who remain here after us and to honor those who go before us.

There is no better use of friendsghip than the enlightenment, and caring for the beautiful minds of our elders. Please contact us for ways you can partner with us.
