Natural Transitions Helps Teach Your Green and Holistic End-of-Life Care Options

Natural Transitions is a Boulder, Colorado-based non-profit resource center providing education on conscious, holistic, and eco-friendly approaches to end-of-life and after-death care. The organization works with families and communities to educate and guide them through green and holistic end-of-life care options and after death practices.. They offer a Traveling Workshop that will come by any city in the United States to work with your community, as well as local, Boulder-based workshops.

The organization also publishes the beautiful quarterly Natural Transitions Magazine, which covers conscious, holistic approaches to end-of-life. The magazine is a forum for those working in fields related to end-of-life as well as for families facing end-of-life and loss.

Natural Transitions Magazine is run by a small, dedicated staff within the organization and supported by the NT Magazine Advisory Board. Board members include top names in the end-of-life industry, including Mark Harris, author of Grave Matters; Jennifer Ballentine; head of the Life Quality Institute and director of The Iris Project; Isabel  Stenzel-Byrnes, author of The Power of Two; and Amy Cunningham, a writer and a funeral director in training.

The magazine includes an array of beautiful images — which catch the eyes of the design-focused here at SevenPonds! — and stories and articles that share end-of-life experiences, cultural knowledge, and tips from experts for honoring life and death in natural, holistic, healthy ways.

We love the organization and the magazine, whose mission and visual approach to the subject are very aligned with our own here at SevenPonds. You can learn more about both at naturaltransitions.org, and download a sampler of their magazine from the front page of the website. You can also join the conversation at the Natural Transitions blog.
