A center for sacred service, centralizing matters of soul & spirit, in our efforts to be of service to individuals & communities. Our work is derived from the diverse spiritual beliefs & practices of our individual members.

Our Members are committed to:

  • Inner Work. Developing conscious soul capacities and receptivity to the reality of spiritual worlds.

  • Walking our talk. Translating these soul capacities and receptivity into the everyday situations of our various lives and fields of endeavor.

  • Sacred Service. Developing an understanding of heart centered and soulful approaches to service in order to nurture and support individuals and our communities.

If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life. For life and death are one- even as the river and the sea are one.
— Kahlil Gibran

The primary role of The Sophia Center for Life Studies is to support the work of Crossing Care, which is dedicated to home funeral/natural burial education and information. We invite you to learn more about both through this website. We are especially proud of our video, "The Art of Natural Death Care," which was presented at the 2017 National Home Funeral Alliance conference.
