Emberlight: An Exploration of Conscious Living  with Courtney Smith

This presentation introduces Emberlight: The Center for Conscious Living & Dying, a new WNC nonprofit offering compassionate, community-based support for individuals and families navigating aging, serious illness, and end-of-life. With a focus on Conscious Living, participants will take a moment to explore what fully living means to them now, and will learn how preparation—emotional, practical, and relational—can bring greater peace, clarity, and choice long before a health crisis arises. The session will explore what Emberlight offers, including education, caregiver support, and non-medical end-of-life care, and will invite reflection on how tending to these conversations now can support living more fully and with intention. This program is welcoming, informative, and designed for older adults, caregivers, and anyone interested in thoughtful preparation for the later chapters of life.
