Kindness, Compassion, Courage--Hospice Volunteer June Training!

Gresham OR

Description

Hospice companion volunteering is an opportunity to turn our attention to that which is always present in life and death -- our compassionate heart, our divine spirit, our need to express and receive kindness. Each moment we live in that awareness, giving attention to that which is always present, has the potential to heal, connect, transform. Bring the gift of your authentic self to be present with patients and families -- share life stories, contemplate current events, read poetry or prayer, hold hands in gentle silence. It is all a gift when offered unconditionally. Spend 2-4 hours a week visiting with a hospice patient/family in your local community -- Gresham, outer SE PDX, NE PDX, all Multnomah County communities. Learn about hospice and soulful presence. The next hospice companion volunteer training is comprised of four sessions, June 4th, 5th, 11th, & 12th. We follow all CDC, state, federal and local covid 19 precautions/guidelines to keep our staff, volunteers, and patients safe.
