Kathleen Dowling Singh
Kathleen Dowling Singh is a transpersonal psychologist and psychotherapist
in private practice. She has lectured widely throughout the United States
on death and dying, spirituality at the end of life, and spiritual practices
in the midst of life. Her audiences are diverse: spiritual practitioners,
hospice staff, medical students and professionals, and ordinary people
seeking greater depth and meaning in their living and in their dying.
Kathleen is the author of The
Grace in Dying : How We Are Transformed Spiritually as We Die
(HarperCollins, 1998), a book named one of Amazon's Top Ten Books
in Spirituality the year it was published and now taught widely at universities
and medical schools throughout the world. She has also served on the
board of Graceful
Passages
(New World Library, 2000), a bestselling book/cd with wisdom for
living and dying; and Growthhouse.org,
a renowned online portal for end-of-life information.
She served as a consultant to the PBS series, hosted by Bill Moyers,
"On Our Own Terms: Dying in America"; has been a contributor to Beliefnet.com,
a widely acclaimed site filled with wisdom and practices for all spiritual
paths; and has authored numerous articles (click

of Attention", a chapter in The
Wisdom of Listening
(Wisdom, 2003).
Kathleen is a longtime Buddhist student and practitioner, sometime teacher,
yet still maintains the ability to speak in broad language, accessible
to those of any faith. She is committed to cultivate an awareness of
death in the midst of life, recognizing that living in the light of
death does much to bring meaning, presence, and joy to our experience
of being.
Her emphasis in private practice is on psychospiritual growth, working
with people from all walks of life to heal whatever needs to be healed
in the sense of self while simultaneously moving toward relaxing that
very sense of self, expanding into a far greater experience of being
in the midst of life. She is available for private individual consultation
and may be contacted at the link on this site.
Kathleen lives in Sarasota, Florida, close to many of her four children
and seven grandchildren. She is currently at work on a new book, The
Grace in Aging.
