Coming to Nevada County April 2019: Guest Speaker Terri Nash

Picture

Terri Nash, MS, CPM is an educator, storyteller, healer, and retired midwife who, between 1982-2017 attended hundreds of homebirths and midwifed numerous individuals through their dying experience.  In 1984 she began extensive studies of Tibetan Medicine under tutelage of Yeshe Dondhen, physician to the Dalai Lama, and continues today working and studying with Dr.Yonten, a Tibetan doctor living in Bangalore, India.  
 
Terri is a Certified Qi Gong instructor, teaching internationally with Daisy Lee, founder of Radiant Lotus Women’s Qi Gong. With a synthesis of intelligent humor and deep awareness, Terri integrates Homeopathy, Tibetan Medicine, subtle energy practices, and intuitive visioning into all her work. Terri has been to Tibet twice, with the Pureland Project, training Tibetan women in midwifery skills in order to help prevent the tragically high maternal death rates in remote Gargon (Eastern Tibet).

Terri has grown in understanding about Tibetan's unique view of the interplay of living and dying. Their wisdom methods invite both the dying person and caretakers into an embodied experience of compassion in action. These methods, utilized for thousands of years, reveal the true nature of the human mind and heart. In this talk, Terri will provide context for Tibetan Views on the dying process and discuss the signs of dissolution of the Elements in the body during the dying process. 

The dissolution of the elements is a critical phase of the dying process from the Tibetan view. The signs are external and internal. Both the dying person and the caregiver can become acquainted with these signs to deepen the wisdom of the experience. The talk will include a guided meditation focused on the dissolution of elements.
