| History of the Project |
| In 1978 Dr Michael Murphy founded a hospice in Albany, NY, and was its medical director for 17 years. The hospice led to the creation of a training program on Death & Dying that was the forerunner of the present-day workshops on Love, Loss, and Forgiveness. The Love, Loss, and Forgiveness Project was conceived as a result of collaboration between Michael Murphy and John Carlson that began in April 2007. |

| Working with filmmaking students who recorded one of his workshops in Hawaii in 2006, Michael saw first hand how strongly his workshops came through on film. He invited John Carlson, a professional independent documentary and educational filmmaker, to attend two workshops. They both became convinced of the need of and potential for the Project as an effective means to move beyond the limitations of scale bound by one facilitator leading a few workshops a year. |
| As the Project is develops, small group training sessions will be held in various communities throughout the world, and the educational DVDs that will be produced together with the interpretive guidebooks that will accompany them will inspire individuals to make major life changes as they have in Michael’s earlier workshops. |
| In addition, Michael is republishing The Wisdom of Dying, and has completed a second book The Secrets of Love, Loss, and Forgiveness. Both books contain complementary but separate portions of the curriculum for the Project’s community-based groups and will be available for distribution along with the other educational tools. |
