Ernst Kleisterlee

Years ago my younger brother died quite unexpectedlly. The six weeks time to prepare for death brought up deep feelings of isolation, grief and despair, for himself and the ones who loved him. After he died I set out on a path looking for more skillful ways of coping with death and dying, resulting in a buddhist inspired training for people working with the dying, with an emphasis on the experience of inter connectedness. In February 2020 the first buddhist inspired hospice in the Netherlands, based on this training, opened its doors.
