Practice of Living and Dying Scott and Meredith are committed to promoting more understanding about rites of passage within health care and increasing awareness about the dying practice within rites of passage work. The dream is to learn what will be evoked by the dynamic juxtaposition of hospice, rites of passage, and the land we live on, that we might each be inspired to live and die more consciously even amid these challenging times.
