Due to the terrible and prolonged illness and, finally, death of our dear webmaster Cath, we are unable, at present, to add to The Art of Living and Dying www.artoflivinganddying.com Please go to our archives section here for photographs of recent events.
- The Martinsey Isle Trust – A sacred heritage and education trust -
Sacred Land
We are in danger of losing sacred land - places of great spiritual significance to our forebears. Martinsey, in Somerset, is such a place, and gives its name to our Trust.
Sacred Living and Dying
We have largely lost the sacred art of dying (and living) in the modern Western world: how to die; how to sit with the dying; how to listen and how to talk about death; how to grieve; and how to live authentically.
Our Art of Dying (and Living) project, which includes Resource and Drop-In Centres; using the art; and offering, talks, workshops, informal gatherings, awareness days and research, stimulates dialogue around dying and offers support and unbiased information. There will be a time for all of us when having some understanding of this sacred art will help us cope with, possibly, the most difficult time in our lives.’ As a Trust, we honour all faiths and the right to none.
By gathering together significant pieces of land; by supporting and planning to run green burial grounds; and by engaging in sacred research, these elements, are brought together: our heritage as human and spiritual beings. At Martinsey we hope to form a Centre encompassing all aspects of dying and bereavement, and create a Centre for learning and research.
- Care of Land - Care of People - Care of Spirit
Transitus works towards changing attitudes about the spiritual aspects of death, dying and a continuity of consciousness
