Graceful Passages is a book with an audio CD containing music with spoken passages from a variety of spiritual leaders and leaders in end-of-life care. Included are the voices of Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, Alan Jones, Ram Dass, Thich Nhat Hanh, Arun and Sunanada Gandhi and others. Based on an inclusive inter-faith model, it includes segments inspired by Jewish, Catholic, Protestant, Confucian, Buddhist, Hindu, and American Indian traditions. Not all selections will resonate with all listeners, but there is something here for almost everyone. The moving musical score by Emmy award winning composer Gary Malkin nicely complements the spoken material.
The elegant CD packaging includes a 76-page gift book featuring transcriptions of all spoken words, as well as writings by bestselling author Sam Keen, nationally-known palliative care physician Ira Byock, and author Kathleen Dowling Singh, Ph.D.
This unique audio product has been praised by many in the hospice community as an innovative approach to addressing the fear, anxiety, and denial associated with dying. The music reflects the experience which co-producer Stillwater gained as a hospice music thanatologist, using song to comfort the dying. |
