Giving to Stoke the Fire. . .
A gift to Emberlight, given all at once or in the rhythm that fits your life, is a simple way to join the circle of conscious giving at Emberlight: Center for Conscious Living & Dying.
However it arrives, your support tends to the day-to-day work of caring for our Sanctuary and property, guiding families, and cultivating a culture where living and dying are held with love and respect. Every gift helps keep our doors open for those seeking a home for conscious dying, grief support, and learning. All services at Emberlight are volunteer supported and free of charge to every resident we serve.
What is Conscious Giving?
It is Giving from an Open Heart, with Presence.
​
Conscious Giving is more than just donating money. It's an act of deep intention, rooted in awareness and compassion. Conscious Giving focuses on:
-
Giving with Purpose: It starts with a genuine desire to make a positive difference, driven by compassion and empathy.
-
Connecting with Your Values: It's an opportunity to align your generosity with what truly matters to you – your deepest beliefs and vision for a better world.
-
A Sense of Interconnection: It recognizes that we're all connected and that your act of giving contributes to a larger web of care and support in the world.
-
Joy in the Act of Giving: Conscious giving isn't about obligation, rather it is about experiencing the intrinsic joy and fulfillment that comes from generosity.​

Monthly Giving
For those who wish their support to become part of the ongoing rhythm of this work, monthly giving offers steady, quiet generosity. A recurring gift, in any amount, becomes part of the everyday tending of our Sanctuary, arriving each month the way the seasons return to our gardens. It asks nothing further of you once it is set; and we receive your gift with gratitude, month after month, as part of the circle of care.
​
Over 115 friends already give monthly. We count on their steady gifts coming in reliably every month. Together, they keep our lights on, our gardens thriving, supplies in the closet and our Suites ready for those in need.
​
Set up a recurring gift through our secure donation form, or reach out to us at giving@emberlightway.org or 828-329-0823 to arrange it another way.

Wish List Purchases
Not every gift needs to take the shape of a letter in the mail with a gift tucked inside. Our Sanctuary and Light House rely on real, tangible items for us to continue offering events, education, and end-of-life services: bedding, kitchen supplies, garden tools, and art materials for our workshops, among many others. Sending us a gift from our wish list becomes something a resident rests upon, or something a volunteer holds while tending the garden.
