More about Fear: Between Birth and Death



Amy Wright Glenn is a very interesting woman that has the privilege to witness both most powerful events in everybody's life, birth as a doula, and death as a hospital chaplain. She also loves to dance and uses dance for healing and processing the strong feelings and emotions brought by her work.

"To be lovingly present through the primal, naked pain that marks aspects of birth, and to be lovingly present through the difficult, heart-wrenching ending that marks aspects of death is to learn about life and love. Fear may be strong but love is stronger. Learning how to love includes learning how to make room for and transform fear. Learning how to live involves learning how to die. Love alone is the most potent power illuminating the breath’s journey in between these thresholds. Love is the key. Love is the dance."
