The grace of the brave self helps us risk navigating helplessness and scary uncertainties.
“To let go does not mean to get rid of.
To let go means to let BE.”
—Jack Kornfield
Change requires letting go of “same” and opening up to “different.” The more unwelcome the change, the more vulnerable and helpless we feel.
A cocoon is a safe place for dramatic change.
Learn the “creative cocooning” process helps us navigate change by making peace with helplessness.

Course Instructor

Deborah Grassman

Founder

Few people have been with 10,000 dying veterans; Deborah Grassman is one VA hospice Nurse Practitioner who has. Dying veterans taught her lessons about how to attain personal peace. Ironically, those lessons came from people who had been trained for war! As a result, a phenomenon known as “Soul Injury” has now emerged as a relevant healthcare issue for the public. She contends that 10,000 dying veterans have lessons that the rest of us need to learn! Deborah is the author of two books, Peace at Last and The Hero Within. She is a contributing author for four textbooks, has 25 published articles, and there are 5 documentary films featuring her work.
