Who We Are

The Center for Conscious Living & Dying (CCLD) is a nonprofit organization nestled in the Swannanoa Valley in WNC, rooted in compassion, service, and a deep reverence for the natural cycles of life and death. Our mission is to support individuals and their loved ones in approaching death with presence, dignity, and care—transforming the unknown and fears about the journey toward death into an opportunity for healing, connection, and personal growth.



What We Do

CCLD provides end-of-life education, grief care, and conscious dying support to nurture emotional, spiritual, and psychological well being. We offer a unique, community-based model of holistic, non-medical care that uplifts not only those at the end of life, but also their families, caregivers, and our broader volunteer community who are at the center of providing these services.
