Palligraphy - the magic of end-of-life storytelling

Sabrina Görlitz is a writer, hospice companion and palliative care lecturer from Hamburg, Germany.
She has invented "palligraphy", a short biography written at the end of life that captures the most important stages and formative memories of palliative care patients - a wonderful opportunity to securely record personal thoughts about life and death for family and friends.

Introducing her special approach based on Joseph Campbell's "the hero's journey" to the US for the first time, Sabrina will tell us more about the palligraphy process and share some very moving patient stories with us. They illustrate how the power of story can bring peace, healing and relief - even in the midst of utter heartbreak.
