Stephen Jenkinson is the founder of Orphan Wisdom School, a place for people yearning for a deeper, more connected life -- one that embraces all aspects of what it means to be human.  He is also a teacher, storyteller, and author.  In 2015, he penned the award winning book, "Die Wise," focused on the phobic way our culture approaches death and dying.  More recently, he published, "Come of Age," a impassioned call for raising a generations of Elders who can guide us in our stewardship of the planet and species.

In this interview with ICCE founder and director, Scott D. Miller, he addresses the North American response to the COVID-19 outbreak, paying particular attention to how the West's "death illiteracy" distorts it's planning and  mitigation efforts, thereby increasing suffering and perpetuating the very fears it seeks to relieve.
