Transitus

Transitus, under the umbrella of The Martinsey Isle Trust – charity number 1135600 – is an holistic Network and Resource List to support a change of approach to physical death, dying and continuity of consciousness – before during and after life.

Safe Journey   A stimulating day of exploration concerning the end of life and beyond First Transitus Festival Was held on Saturday 20th June 2009 The Exchange Sturminster Newton, Dorset   Click here for a review

The name 'Transitus' comes from the Latin verb transire - meaning here 'to make a passage or crossing, from the ending of one phase of life into the birthing of another'.

The Network comprises a growing group of people working in a way that honours all aspects of life - mind, body, spirit and emotions - that are involved with the sacred process of dying. Our aims are: to release fears and taboos; support those dying and bereaved; raise awareness of 'green' and family-based approaches to death; and to encourage the acceptance of the concept of continuity of consciousness. The Network also supports its members so that none of us feels alone. Members include those working with: palliative care nursing; midwifing the soul; music thanatology; alternative funerals and celebrations; natural burials; grief counselling; life after death; related workshops; and more.

The Transitus Resource List regularly compiled and updated is available by email and post.

At present there is an annual Transitus Spring gathering of members, held in Devon, and events for the public such as: Transitus Festivals.

OUR LONGER TERM AIM

It is our intention to create an ever-expanding web site which will allow people from across the globe to access information about the whole field of continuity of consciousness, which sees dying and being born as a similar process.
