Docufilm:
The Gift of the Impermanence
A very special film about the enigma of death
as witnessed through different fundamentals of life.
About This Project
A GIFT FOR THOSE WHO ARE DYING...
AND THOSE WHO STAY!
By sharing the wisdom of those who have walked this path, we hope to inspire and empower people to face this moment—not as an end, but as a sacred passage.
The film will also offer guidance for supporting loved ones at the threshold of death. How do we simply be present? How do we offer comfort without denying the reality? How do we accompany them with courage, tenderness, and respect?
HOW YOU CAN BE A PART OF THIS PROJECT ?
We are now raising funds to bring this vision to life. Your contribution will help us:
- Travel to meet teachers and communities around the world
- Capture intimate, authentic conversations about death and dying
- Create a film that is both a mirror and a guide for those seeking to live more consciously
