Michelle Peticolas

Woman opens hearts and minds to the transformational possibilities of facing death with consciousness.

<p>A sociologist, filmmaker and long-time student of Sufism, Michelle began working on <em>Secrets of Life</em> and Death, a four-part film series, after her parents died in 1998. Originally conceived as a single film, the project morphed into four separate but linked films as she explored various relationships with death, e.g. dying, caregiving, grieving and living after loss. The first two films, <em>Facing Death . . . with open eyes</em> and <em>Caring for Dying: the art of being present</em>, have been screening for community groups throughout the Bay Area. As an outgrowth of her film work, Michelle teaches seminars on end-of-life at <span class="caps">JFK</span> University and leads bereavement groups at Sutter <span class="caps">VNA</span> and Hospice.</p>
