Anne Lamott

Award-winning New York Times Best-selling Author

“The Living/Dying Project is one of the most beautiful, profound and lovely organizations I know of. Dale and the people there have helped so many of my beloved friends cross over gracefully to whatever awaits us, beginning nearly thirty years ago, and helping my family once again just a few months ago.”

Nicolás

Support Group Member and Course Student

“Death is not something to look at from a negative perspective. From Dale I have learned that death allows [us] to appreciate life and I am extremely grateful for that, and to him for his wisdom. Dale is perhaps one of the wisest voices of our times when it comes to the conversation of death and dying, and life as well.”

Millie

Open Circle Client facing Ehlers-Danlos syndrome

“I didn’t have the energy to speak for 6 months… What a beautiful thing the Living/Dying Project is and I’m so grateful for it. Being in a situation like what I’ve been in, it can feel isolating and hopeless, but this organization relieves that.”

Derrick

Open Circle Client

“Being here is so much harder than I thought it would be, it is truly incredible. I just got done sleeping in the recliner next to her [mom] through the night, giving meds every few hours and readjusting her, checking on needs. I do think her time is finally near. It is so hard to see her like this.

I don’t know I would be able to do this without the continual support, encouragement, friendship, and guidance you have given over these many months since this began. I am so thankful for you and Living/Dying Project. The work you all are doing is so so difficult, and so so important. Thank you.”

Carly

Open Circle Volunteer and Support Group Member


“This practice has only enriched my life. It is not something that is dark and sad and depressing, though some have asked me those questions. It is actually a practice that brings a remarkable vitality to my life and a gratitude and a respect for others and their paths…”

Brian

Support Group Member and Course Student

“After losing my son, my brother-in law, within a six month period, I was at a pretty big loss. I needed answers, mostly about life after death. And after some searching, I came upon Living/Dying Project and they had a lot of great resources and support. The first thing I did was…”

Alex

Open Circle Client

“It’s not a fear of dying or death, it’s a fear of absence, it’s a fear of not being here for my family. The Living/Dying Project has allowed me to talk through that. It’s truly spiritual hospice… I have been able to talk through some of the hardest spiritual truths there are.”

Dale F.

Support Group Member

“I’ve been wanting to thank you for [RamDev Dale Borglum’s] talks. After having my full of teachings and exploring over the past 40 years there is not much I am drawn to. But there is something about your talks that so resonates with what is most relevant at this time – becoming more and more aware of – the not me – the one behind – compassionate awareness.  

You touch upon basic daily moments again and again with your admissions of your own stuff – it’s kind of sweet – but really relevant to remembering our true work of awakening. Deep appreciation.”

Vanessa

Open Circle Client

“Thank you again for yesterday. I think I was stunned both by your forthrightness and courage to say what needed to be said, and my own deeper understanding of what my struggle/suffering is about. Now impossible to turn back. Astonishing!”

Chris

Support Group Member

“Dale is such a fantastic speaker, a fantastic teacher. Also the fact that he comes from a Western background and that he got a PhD and comes from a place of logic is something I really relate to. His teachings are so very clear. I can relate to them. He’s fully human. He shows us humanity. And it’s been one of the great gifts in my life to study with Dale.”

John

Open Circle Volunteer & Course Student

“My Living/Dying Project client taught me how to sit with helplessness, hopelessness, uncertainty and the unknown. She also taught me the value of being present to human connection without conditions or expectations. Compassion lived in the present moment, in the space between us. I experienced that the dying process was a time for healing and letting go for both of us. Dale’s training and ongoing guidance and insight provided a necessary foundation and support for these experiences.”
