Synopsis

Enso House is a home for end-of-life care on Whidbey Island, in the Pacific Northwest. This book relates the journey of a group of people striving to create a community rooted in spiritual practice and focused on caring for people who are dying. In this setting, patients and caregivers are able to confront the realities of sickness, aging, and death. This is a story about spiritual openness—how seemingly miraculous outcomes spring from letting go of control and knowing. It is a story of community—neighbors who discover that in volunteering their talents, they receive even greater gifts than they give. It is the story of the life-giving power of death.
