Welcome

We are a NON-PROFIT RESOURCE CENTER 501(c)3 providing education on conscious, holistic, and green approaches to end of life, including family-directed after-death care.

THE TWO ASPECTS OF OUR EDUCATIONAL WORK ARE:

  • PRESENTATIONS AND CONSULTATIONS: Community education, transition guidance trainings and supporting families in green after-death care and home funerals.
  • Our non-profit Natural Transitions Magazine (click on our name for a free sampler issue) and subscribe.

We are the publishers of NATURAL TRANSITIONS MAGAZINE, the ONLY magazine on CONSCIOUS, HOLISTIC APPROACHES TO END OF LIFE  that’s also a forum for professional end-of-life caregivers and families with loved-ones facing end-of-life transition.

FAMILY EDUCATION AND SUPPORT 

Our TRANSITION GUIDES  provide education to families about options for green and holistic after-death care, demystifying what our culture has shrouded in mystique and taught us to fear. Our transition guidance trainings are attended by caregiver professionals and lay persons who hope to be resources for their own families, friends, and faith communities.

Our transition guides support families by offering EDUCATIONAL CONSULTATIONS, ideally in advance of death, to help families consciously prepare for end of life. These consults are to create after-death care plans that allow families to reclaim the tradition of caring for their own at death.

Our guides also provide as-needed SUPPORT to familes when death occurs, empowering them to lay out their own dead, and to hold home wakes and vigils

 Natural Transitions is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, founded in 2003.
