Facilitator: Gilliana Kampitch. Serving as a hospice and hospital chaplain for the past nine years, Gillian Kampitch has journeyed with patients, families and friends on the approach to, during, and in the aftermath of the death of a loved one. Witnessing death so frequently brings a new awareness to life, prompting the curiosity of how to live life more fully. Thus Gillian's interest in the Death Café. As well as being a Board Certified Chaplain, and Inter-faith Spiritual Director, Gillian is a Reiki Master, and specializes in emotional healing, utilizing the Emotion Code, Emotional Freedom Technique and the Bach Flower Remedies. Originally from England, Gillian relocated to New Bern from Santa Fe, NM one year ago as she married Martin Kampitch, a metal-work artist in New Bern. Gillian is a labyrinth-lover, having designed and built fifteen labyrinths in various locations throughout the U.S.
