Are you feeling overwhelmed by the uncertainties of life and death, or grappling with unspoken fears about what comes next?
Imagine transforming your relationship with death and dying into a profound journey of self-discovery and healing, where you embrace the beauty of living fully in each moment while building the confidence to compassionately support others through terminal illness… and befriending death itself.
Perhaps you’ve watched a loved one struggle with their final days, wrestling with unspoken fears and regrets. You may have experienced the heart-wrenching pain of saying goodbye without ever having the important conversations that could have brought closure and peace.
These moments can leave us feeling anxious about our own mortality, questioning how we can ensure our wishes are honored while leaving a lasting legacy for those we cherish.
If you’ve wondered how you can address unfinished business and navigate this inevitable journey with grace, you’re not alone. Many people feel a calling to explore the deeper meanings of life and death but struggle to know where to begin... or avoid it altogether.
The good news is there is a way to transform your fears into an empowering experience of self-discovery, healing, and ultimately contentment. In a world where death is often shrouded in fear and uncertainty, embracing this journey can be life-changing, shares Tarron Estes, founder and CEO of the Conscious Dying Institute.

More Praise for Tarron Estes...
Being in Tarron’s program helped me see how to focus on the inner needs of staff, their challenges, and their dreams for providing better care at end of life. As a palliative care provider, Tarron’s programs give me hope that as our programs expand, we can someday offer trainings to medical providers to provide best practices in delivering care to the dying. An educational package that includes training about personal death awareness issues will not only improve care for our members, it will bring deeper meaning, peace, and resiliency to our dedicated healthcare professionals.
Tarron was, and is, a godsend. She helped our family come together with my mom to really listen and sit with her feelings and decision to not pursue aggressive Western medical treatment. It was so important to have those honest, heart-based conversations. We literally brought in both HeartMath and Caritas principles and practices to our discussions as a family. We could not have remained grounded, open, vulnerable, and loving — yet strong enough to support my mom in this decision — without those principles, and without Tarron’s steady compassion throughout. No matter how this story ends, the turn we were all able to take together because of Tarron’s help and support has made all the difference.
