Just found out Dr. Geffen passed.  He was a beautiful man. So intelligent. So giving of himself to others. Loved this man from the moment I met him. I was his housekeeper for five years in Vero Beach, fl. til he moved to Colorado.  Gog Bless you Doc.  I know you have your angel wings.

Jeremy was a truly astonishing, brilliant, courageous and remarkable warrior of the Light. 
He stood for the Truth, and honored every other person's truth. 
He walked his talk. He did his professional work, his psychological work, his emotional work, and his soul work. He understood better than most that we lived in a world that was made more meaningful by how one fully showed up, body, heart, mind and soul. 
When I first met Jeremy, it was thanks to my then creative partner, Michael Stillwater, the pioneer Chant Master, and now award-winning filmmaker with his wife, Doris Laesser Stillwater. 
We had just finished  and released the now globally acclaimed  Book and 2 CD Set, Graceful Passages: A Companion for Living and Dying. He became quickly one of our earliest champions for spreading the value of this work, especially to people who were facing cancer and  having trouble with integrating his 7th level of healing, facing one's mortality. 
When we asked him why it was so rare for a medical oncologist to endorse the use of a resource that would help you come to acceptance, peace and equanimity around the reality of our mortality, without hesitating, he uttered a phrase that, to this day, I quote him on, often. 
He said: 
"The reason I will endorse Graceful Passages is because the work brings you to the essence of what I believe true healing is all about: True healing is focused action and intention, wrapped in the arms of surrender.". 
This phrase hit me like a thunderbolt, and has never left me. That was Jeremy. A Herculean mind and spirit, A gentle, tender, beautiful warrior of the heart. And someone I will always consider my good friend. 
Thank you, Jeremy for your incredible vision, dedication, and love for life. The world is better because of all that you gave us, most especially your heart and soul. For those of you who want to know about the resource that Jeremy loved so much, go to www.WisdomoftheWorld.com (me)  or www.InnerHarmony.com (Michael Stillwater). 

I had the extreme privilege of working with Jeremy after hiring him as the first permanent Medical Director of the Mission Cancer Center.  I will never forget him, or the many lessons that I learned from him.

Jeremy was a true professional - expert, compassionate, focused, engaging and never tiring, even in the most difficult circumstances.  My prayers for his recovery went unanswered, so I must believe that there is a greater purpose.

God bless.

I had the pleasure and joy of working with Jeremy Geffen for only a short time in which his impat is long lasting.  My wish for him is everlasting happiness and peace.

     I do not personally know Jeremy Geffen and I only became aware of him in the wee hours of last night. 
     While attempting to clean up my emails on my computer, I happened upon one from 5 years ago, sent by a friend who used to attend meetings with a Richard Sann in Boulder. I recalled having heard good things about Richard, so, out of curiosity, I googled his practice. 
     In a round about way, I found myself pulled into reading a compelling blog written in March of 2015 by a Jeremy Geffen. I felt a deep compassion for this unknown person's trials by fire and his willingness to share his experiences in such an honest, innocent and interestingly written manner. 
     To my surprise, I went on to learn that he himself was an oncological physician. I read of his heartfelt expression of love and gratitude for his devoted partner, Kristina, whom had been so fortuitously traveling with him on this long and ironic journey. 
     I found myself genuinely caring for these people and in an attempt to learn of Jeremy's current condition, I cautiously googled further, only to discover what I had feared, and thus I arrived at this very guest book. 
     It is unusual to be drawn into a total stranger's life situation while in the midst of cleaning up ones emails. It is much more unusual to learn that this same person had concluded their brave and long 4-year journey on the VERY DAY that I had come to "know" him; perhaps even while I was immersed in reading about him.                  
     The synchronicity moved me enough to share my experience in hopes that it might be of some comfort to remember that Jeremy Geffen still has the capability of "touching" people in unknown and beneficial ways, simply by virtue of his willingness to have shared his vulnerability and truth.
      I hesitated before sharing in a sacred place such as this one, typically reserved for friends and family. My genuine intent is to let those who will be mourning remember that ones life can CONTINUE to have far greater impact than we may realize. 
     Healing wishes for your losses and my best to Jeremy on his many adventures yet to come. 
     Most Respectfully, 
                                 Jeremy's Blog-Reader
