About Thin Veil Death Collaborative
It all started with a desire to bring the capital region of New York a place for those in need of non-medical supportive care, awareness, and education surrounding death.
Why Thin Veil?
Death is a sacred threshold into a place or state that we aren’t familiar with. Whether its dying itself, sacred grief, vulnerability in exploring those processes, or even our own mortality, we aim to normalize death in our community.
Holding the thin veil open to glimpse at what life and death means for each and every person.
