Sarah In the In Between

Neil will tell the remarkable story of a doctor, Zen-practitioner, and son, as he journeyed with his mother during the last years of her life.

There are pragmatic lessons in preparing for the unexpected. There are spiritual lessons: how to bear witness to suffering, what is the nature of self and mind and existence, what is true devotion, how does one face death with equanimity. There are all the ways in which Theise’s medical training illuminated the physical and the spiritual aspects of aging and consciousness.

And there is magic: Sarah reported encounters from the Yenne Velt, Yiddish for “the Other World.”
