BIO: 
 

Dr. Ruth Richards once said, "You have a special gift. All you need to do is open it." Come to find out my special gift is to preserve multigenerational family stories and business histories. Dr. Steve Pritzker, my committee chair, supported me by allowing me to craft my Saybrook program into what we called, "The psychology and practice of personal history." I am forever grateful to Dr. Richards, Dr. Pritzker, and all my Saybrook professors.

Since graduation I have traveled worldwide to preserve 45 multigenerational stories and business histories in limited edition, heirloom books. (Think of coffee table books.) One of the books that is closest to my heart is "What Does It Mean to be Human?"--the book that celebrated Saybrook's 40th anniversary. I have learned that our stories shape us. They beat out the rhythm of life. They teach us who we were, who we are, and who we can be. They teach us what it means to be human.

Sure, Legacies In Ink, LLC is a business. I work with a support team of professional transcribers, graphic artists, and book binders/printers, but I handle all the particulars. I follow a time-tested, proven process that eliminates common barriers to success. It is task driven and timeline controlled. I deliver what I promise, when I promise. I call it my “easy guarantee."

Every day is a blessing. I wake up thankful that I will once again use my special gift to make a difference in lives. My legacy is to preserve your legacy. ​​​​

BIO: 

Dr. Elena Gillespie, researcher and faculty member with Saybrook University, has trained with a psychic-shaman in Michigan for many years, and is a certified Medium in the Spiritualist Church, in addition to being a Reiki master since 1988.  She had a private practice in Michigan, focusing primarily on working with patients with cancer, and in palliative care, when some of those patients were close to transition into death.  Dr. Gillespie’s dissertation was a phenomenological-hermeneutic analysis of her transpersonal experiences with these subjects.  Her book is based on her dissertation called The Anatomy of Death: Notes From a Healer’s Casebook.   

Dr. Gillespie has recently published her book, which is now available on Amazon.  As a quantitative biomedical researcher, Dr. Gillespie has drawn upon her own work as a medium and collected case studies as material for her book.  She seeks to understand how people prepare for death and dying.  Dr. Gillespie comments, “typically, people prepare for death in various ways, or not at all in American culture.”  The process of death and dying often involves other people besides the one who is passing.  For example, Dr. Gillespie works with family members who are also involved with the process.  Drawing upon the literature, Dr. Gillespie comments that 30-70% of people in the dying process see their relatives in spirit as they are getting closer to death.  Additionally, there are a number of people who report having dreams, meditation experiences, or visions of accompanying a loved one on their journey.  These visions and experiences, as Dr. Gillespie reports, are well documented in the literature. 

The focus of Dr. Gillespie’s book is on these various experiences of death and dying, and she takes a specific focus on how we can further assist this transition.  Currently there is a loose structure around transition into death.  For example, when one is progressing towards the end of their life, they may have no will in place, no dying director to assist, and no additional information or guidance for the journey ahead.  Dr. Gillespie notes that while historically death has lacked a structure to ground belief systems, things are improving.  She notes that having some support can help a person who is passing over.  Dr. Gillespie remarks that she strives to “make the process a little less scary for the average person”. 

In addition to her recent book publication, Dr. Gillespie is in the process of co-designing a class for Fielding Graduate University on death and dying.  Accompanying this process is her desire to create a series of documentaries, which will be televised on PBS.  Her documentary series will focus on how to prepare, spiritually and logistically, for death.

BIO: 

Linda Riebel, psychologist and environmental educator, has published professional and popular works in addition to The Green Foodprint. As a faculty member at Saybrook University in San Francisco, she co-created the environmental studies program and co-authored two of its course texts. A graduate of Wellesley College, she serves on the boards of Sustainable Lafayette and SaveNature.Org, where she is the program director of Edible EdVentures, which brings the message of earth-friendly eating to classrooms around the San Francisco Bay Area. Linda has received notable recognition for her work as an environmental educator and author. Most recently, she won a 2012 Green Book Festival Award and was a finalist of the 2012 Next Generation Indie Book Awards 

 

Quote:  

“When I entered Saybrook (then HPI) as a student in 1977, I did not expect to become a published scholar. I just wanted to earn a license to do therapy. But my faculty praised my papers, so I began submitting to various journals. 

 

A few years ago, I loaded all my academic publications onto ResearchGate, and was pleasantly surprised to find that my work is being widely read – all around the world, in fact. So far (October, 2020), 13,000 “reads.” The biggest surprise? Two articles that came out of my 1981 dissertation are getting a lot of traction! 

 

My first book on sustainable food led to three important relationships – a fellow opera lover, my husband’s hiking buddy, and the founder of an environmental group which I then joined. They had all independently discovered and read it, and I met them all later. Wow!”
