S1.E11. Tales of Dying and Death | The Stumbling Spirit Podcast
Michele Chaban invites stillness and mortality into her practice on a daily basis. She has her PhD in Clinical Thanatology, is Founder of Mindfulness Studies at University of Toronto, and teaches several certificate programs there, including Mindfulness Informed End of Life Care. For much of her career, Michele applied both skill sets as a social worker, counselling patients and their families in the palliative care centre at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto. In this episode, we discuss dying and death, the role that mindfulness can play to ease suffering, and we learn more about Michele herself and the life-changing event that led her towards contemplative practice and caregiving.
Guest information: Dr. Michele Chaban, MSW, RSW (retired), PhD, still teaches mindfulness and can be contacted at chabanmichele@gmail.com.
