1:00 – 2:00 p.m. ET
It’s not often in life that you get a few maps for how to traverse the dark places of a serious illness. Scott Eberle, MD, is a rare pathfinder who spent 30 years as a hospice doctor and 20 years as a wilderness guide developing such maps. Join us for an inspirational exploration of four of his maps:
· A basic map — for both symbolic dying & physical dying: the three phases of a rite of passage
· An emotional map — Kubler-Ross stages with a revision that I’ve used for years
· A storytelling map — based on the work of Arthur Frank
· A psychospiritual map — Decision Road, Death Lodge, Purpose Circle, and the Great Ballcourt.

About the Speaker:
Scott Eberle, M.D. is an educator, writer, counselor, and wilderness guide. A former hospice physician for over thirty years, Scott recently shifted his professional energies toward a private practice where he offers rites of passage counseling and mentoring. This 1-on-1 work is well-integrated with the wilderness programs that he continues to co-guide. His first book, The Final Crossing: Learning to Die in Order to Live, explored how the symbolic death-and-rebirth dimension of a rites of passage ceremony is informed by his considerable experience sitting with people who are physically dying. He is nearing completion of a second book, The Soul’s Red Thread, which explores similar themes, while also seeking to understand why and how we humans tell stories.
