FAQs
Is this associated with any religion or religious organization? Are there any particular beliefs that are necessary?
No. Our Foundation is nonreligious and secular. We embrace all beliefs and all cultures.
We are often invited to speak to religious groups at churches and other religious venues, but we do not promote any set of beliefs in our talks. Instead, we discuss all beliefs and help people reduce and overcome their fears related to death through the lens of those diverse beliefs.
How is your Foundation’s approach different from other organizations that help with death and end-of-life issues?
First, as stated above, we take a nonreligious approach to helping people overcome their fear of death, and related fears.
Second, we focus on clarifying people’s fears about death. In other words, we help people develop a clearer understanding about what their fears are of — are they the fear of death, or are they the fear of the process of dying, or perhaps are they the fears related to losing loved ones? We can discuss all of these, but first it is important to identify which of those fears are present.
Third, we focus on expanding people’s understanding about death and dying — through their lens of their particular belief system — to help them reduce and overcome their fears and anxieties related to death and end-of-life.
Finally, we also offer a practical experiential technique to help reduce fears and anxieties.
I know an organization who would like to invite Kelvin to speak — what is involved? How long is his lecture, or seminar? How much does it cost?
Kelvin speaks internationally on “Overcoming the Fear of Death.” He is sometimes invited by individuals who may help set up the event locally, and other times by organizations who may both host, sponsor, and organize the lecture or seminar.
Kelvin’s lecture can be tailored to the audience, both in content and in length. His talks have ranged from the general topic of “The 4 Main Belief Systems About Death” to more expanded discussions on “Fear of Punishment, Loss of Loved Ones, and the Fear of Eternity” and “Transcending Cruelty.” Depending on the range of topics to be discussed, the length of the talk can be from 1 hour to several hours. Kelvin typically tailors the content and length based on the planning conversation he has with the event organizers.
The cost of the typical community lectures or seminars is free. It is covered by donations from people who have benefited from the work of the Foundation. Contact Kelvin to discuss speaker fees for organizations. If travel is involved, then Kelvin discusses this with the organizers in their planning conversation.
