Stephen Jenkinson – Brushes with Death

This week we’ll be hearing from Stephen Jenkinson whose wisdom on the cycle of life and elderhood offers so much that makes the ancient in us sit up and listen. This episode was first aired in January of 2018. We are living through a time when there are more people, more creatures, more plants, more cultures, dying than ever before. Where we are forced to recognize that growth untethered to consequence is like cancer. The debts of generations past have accrued to us, but not the wisdom. Our inheritance of obligation, of reciprocity, has been broken and we are left with what is dying, but without any understanding of how to be with it. We are deeply addicted to the thing that got us here: a stratagem for relief. And what is it really that brought us to hunger, at almost any cost, for such relief? One of Stephen’s answers is the loss of elderhood. Stephen Jenkinson, MTS, MSW, is a teacher, author, storyteller, spiritual activist, farmer and founder of the Orphan Wisdom School, a teaching house and learning house for the skills of deep living and making human culture. Music by Jess Williamson. Visit our website forthewild.world for the full episode description, references, and action points.

STEPHEN JENKINSON on Closing Time [ENCORE] /199

“You die in the manner of your living.”This is a profound conversation with wisdom keeper extraordinaire, Stephen Jenkinson. We talk about living and dying, grief and mystery, hope and hopeless plus so much more. This is a deeply vertical exchange and honestly one of the most beautiful shows I have had the privilege to be a part of here. Stephen’s words will shift your heart center and open you to a more expanded sense of who you.Stephen teaches internationally and is the creator and principal instructor of the Orphan Wisdom School, founded in 2010. With Master’s degrees from Harvard University (Theology) and the University of Toronto (Social Work), he is revolutionizing grief and dying in North America.Stephen is redefining what it means to live, and die well. Apprenticed to a master storyteller, he has worked extensively with dying people and their families, is former program director in a major Canadian hospital, former assistant professor in a prominent Canadian medical school, consultant to palliative care and hospice organizations and educator and advocate in the helping professions. He is also a sculptor, traditional canoe builder whose house won a Governor General’s Award for architecture.He is the author of Die Wise: A Manifesto for Sanity and Soul (2015), Homecoming: The Haiku Sessions – a live recorded teaching (2013), How it All Could Be: A Work Book for Dying People and Those who Love Them (2009), Angel and Executioner: Grief and the Love of Life – a live recorded teaching (2009), and Money and The Soul’s Desires: A Meditation (2002), and contributing author to Palliative Care – Core Skills and Clinical Competencies (2007).Stephen Jenkinson is also the subject of the feature length documentary film Griefwalker (National Film Board of Canada, 2008), a lyrical, poetic portrait of his work with dying people.On the day I die, don’t say she’s gone/he’s gone. On the day I die, don’t say she’s gone/he’s gone. Death has nothing to do with going away. The sun sets, and the moon sets, but they are not gone. Death is a coming together. The human seed goes down into the ground like a bucket, and comes up with some unimagined beauty. Your mouth closes here and immediately opens with a shout of joy there.~ RumiPlease Consider Writing An Honest Review of What Matters MostIf you enjoyed this — or any! — episode of the What Matters Most podcast, please leave a review of the show!

Stephen Jenkinson | The Logos, Poetry & Prophecy

“Dying is not what happens to you, dying is what you do” We are blessed to have the highly esteemed culture activist and author, Stephen Jenkinson, on the RMP. We are grateful for such a dignified elder to join us, as it makes for a one-of-a-kind episode. He shares his soul on all things DEATH, including what it’s like to serve those close to passing, how to die well, and the deeply informed masculine response to calamity.   Show Notes:  Stephen's experience and insights from serving those who are close to passing Why boyhood is inevitable, while manhood must be earned and bestowed upon by elders What happens when the community can’t reliably lean upon it’s men? Why globalization is a war against indigenousity, specificity, and those focused on raising consciousness We’ve been benefiting from Earth for ages, is it finally time to give back? The manhood question: In a time of trouble, what is the deeply informed masculine response? We are a result of our ancestors, and are far more resilient than we can remember “Learning the language of your ancestors is one of the ways that you can give love to what you say you love” - Stephen Jenkinson Our culture pretends to understand the universe/God, though it’s a mystery to us all. What does “dying well” mean? All life takes place under the deified presence of Death When dying comes, it’s a companion. Our moral obligation is to be radically hospitable. How to sustain the life of the one who comes to call Why a hollow sense of pride commonly resides where the heart should be    Connect with Stephen: Website: Orphanwisdom.com - Check out his books, updates on his Covid-affected ‘Nights of Grief &amp; Mystery” World Tour, sign up for his newsletter, and find other links!!

#40 – Recovering Our Humanity in a Time of Trouble with Stephen Jenkinson

Today I interviewed Stephen Jenkinson. He’s not only an author, an activist, a musician, and the founder of a school, but also an inspired etymologist, a spiritual trickster, and a mythopoetic storyteller cracking sticks and tossing them into a low fire as the spirits in the embers rise with his words. He’s a sorcerer of sorts who disenchants us from some of our most habitual and destructive beliefs about what it means to live and to die, to age and—in the title of his latest book—to Come of Age (North Atlantic Books, 2018). The subtitle of his book is The Case for Elderhood in a Time of Trouble, and I spoke to Stephen at a moment when our most imminent trouble seems to be the global pandemic of the coronavirus, one that—on the date of our interview, March 18, 2020—appears as though it will only grow worse and more deadly here in North America and around the globe. Yet Stephen puts this acute trouble into a larger, longer, and ultimately more troubling perspective. He leads us, as he does in his book, into the act of what he calls wondering, “without recourse to certainty or comfort” but with, perhaps the possibility of emerging more clear-eyed and attentive to the world in front of us and what it asks of our living and our dying and our time together.Eric LeMay is on the creative writing faculty at Ohio University. His work ranges from food writing to electronic literature. He is the author of three books, most recently In Praise of Nothing: Essay, Memoir, and Experiments (Emergency Press, 2014).
