With tender hearts, we share the news that yesterday morning Terry, our dear friend, teacher, guide, and radiantly bright light, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family.

As many of you are aware, Terry’s health declined quickly over the past week, after a seven-month “life-threatening and life-brightening” journey with a rare aggressive cancer in his lungs. In Terry’s final days and moments, he was with family and loved ones at his home, surrounded by a field of love and deep peace.

We are with you in feeling a depth of grief and unspeakable gratitude for the fullness and gift of Terry’s life and legacy—and our collective loss. Amidst our grief, many of us are also feeling deeply inspired and called forth by Terry’s courage, compassion, and ever-deepening surrender as he navigated the last seven months of his life — the radiance of his being beckoning us to treasure and trust in the process of our lives, and this very moment.

A sacred three-day vigil is currently taking place at Terry’s home for his local friends and family. We invite you to participate remotely by holding Terry in your heart and in your personal practice throughout his transition — to simply be with him and to nurture and encourage his moving on in his process freely.

There will be gatherings over the coming days and weeks and we will share those invitations and details with you as they develop. Please join with us as we continue to hold Terry, his family and close friends in our hearts and prayers.

With Love,

Terry’s team at A New Republic of the Heart
