In honor of National Caregivers Day, Tending the Sacred launches the first event in its new series, Caregiving as a Spiritual Practice. When Someone You Love Is Dying? is an intimate conversation featuring author Anne Starr, whose memoir North on 101 chronicles her experience caring for her brother Mansfield as he faced terminal cancer at just 52.

Caregiving touches nearly every family, yet few of us are prepared for the emotional, relational, and spiritual terrain it reveals. In this heartfelt gathering, we explore how sitting close to mortality can awaken deeper presence, tenderness, and clarity about what truly matters. Together we will reflect on how tending someone at the threshold of life can become an initiation into conscious living—transforming fear into love, isolation into connection, and caregiving into a sacred path of meaning.

For anyone who is or soon will be caring for another. Join us.
