About The Sacred Art of Living and Dying Center

In 1997 Richard and Mary Groves were inspired to create the Sacred Art of Living Center as a one-of-its-kind school for spiritual formation for caregivers.  Their vision brought together more than 50 years of work in interfaith education, professional development and end-of-life spirituality.  The result is our ‘north star’ workshop-retreat series called the Sacred Art of Living and Dying, the nation’s first comprehensive training and certification program for spirituality in end-of-life care.

Over time, the mission of Sacred Art of Living Center has expanded to include many other workshops and retreats including “The Anamcara Project,” a unique internship that applies the spiritual wisdom of our ancestors with clinically-proven best practices.  Professional and lay caregivers from many backgrounds testify that these trainings are life changing at both personal and vocational levels.
