Silver City -- The Reverend Bodhi Be, who founded Doorway into Light in Maui, along with his wife, Leilah Be, and the late Ram Das, will discuss conscious aging, death and dying at the monthly meeting of the Death Cafe, on Monday, September 22, at the Silver City Public Library.
A pioneer in conscious dying, the Rev. Be brings decades of experience in helping people prepare for aging, death and dying in order to live more fully and deeply in the present. Doorway into Light volunteers work to bring death back into the home and the community, reminding us that death is a sacred rite of passage, and that we are all just "walking each other home." Bodhi is an ordained interfaith minister and teacher in the Sufi lineage of Sufi Sam and Hazrat Inayat Khan.
"I'm so pleased to be able to meet with my friends here in New Mexico to share my perspective on death and dying," Rev. Be said. "It's wonderful that you are coming together in community to learn, share and prepare for death in a conscious way, and I am truly honored to participate in these important discussions. Doing so helps us to live here and now more deeply, fully and reverently."
Doorway into Light also offers educational programs and training for persons interested in supporting dying persons and their loved ones, while also offering Maui's only green funeral home, as well as numerous earth-friendly death care products at the Death Store.

The 90-minute Death Cafe is free, open to all, and facilitated by Lisa Jimenez, certified death doula and practitioner of shamanic healing. The meeting begins at 4:00 pm at the Silver City Public Library, 515 W. College Avenue. For more information, please contact Lisa at (575) 574-5473, or
