Multiple positions open in every location of the world.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Provide emotional, spiritual, practical, and/or medical support to individuals who are realizing that we are coming to the end of life on our planet as we know it.
• Be able to tend to your own grief so that you can show up fully to each person and assist them to regulate their nervous system and emotional landscape so they are able to touch into peace and acceptance.
• Know that this peace and acceptance can and should co-exist with a burning love for the earth and all her creatures, which inspires continued engagement and fierce protection of what we still have left and what is still to be created. In other words, the kind of peace you are facilitating and supporting is not about surrender but about boundless love.

QUALITIES NEEDED

• Must be willing to allow your heart to break completely open.
• Intimate with the journey of loss and grief, willing to not turn away but rather look it in the eye and surf with the waves of emotion. Familiarity with the G.R.A.C.E. model (developed by Roshi Joan Halifax) is incredibly helpful.
• Ability to dance with extreme differences of perspective – in many cases you will be working with people with views that are completely the opposite of yours and you must be able to love and serve them, without hesitation. No one excluded.* Deep respect and curiosity for the cultural background of each person you come into contact with.
• Ability to dance is super helpful, as is a great sense of humor!
• Community building and organizing
• Self care skills absolutely essential. You will find yourself running absolutely ragged and at times there will be no way to take a break. Yet you must be able to draw on a deep reservoir within yourself that you have ways to continue to fill with love, joy, desire, and kindness.
• An incredible support system of family and/or friends who will never stop loving you and bringing you a cup of tea (or whiskey, depending on your constitution and karma) to help you keep going. You can’t do this alone.

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

• You’ll be working outside the capitalist model, so please do not expect a standard wage. Be open to creative models of reciprocity. You might come home with a basket of fresh vegetables grown by your new clients, a hand-knitted sweater, a treasured book or poem. Shared living space and food may be part of compensation. Any option based in relationship rather than transaction will be infinitely more valuable than a paycheck.
• A deep sense that you are doing the right thing, at the right time. With that comes a kind of joy you may never have known before.

HOW TO APPLY

Just show up – you’ll be needed everywhere.

Tip: You’ll be a great fit for this job if you don’t care about having any letters after your name. Not necessary for this position, and in fact can be a distraction from what’s most important.
