Nature-centered compassionate hospice care for women and children who are experiencing housing insecurities in
Nashville, Tennessee
Welcome to Aluna Bridge. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit whose mission is to help members of our dying community navigate the physical, spiritual and emotional challenges that often arise after they have been given a terminal diagnosis. It is our belief that death is a sacred act and some of our greatest spiritual gifts and lessons can be gained from the mysteries of tending the thresholds of grief and dying.
Our even greater mission is to hold this sacred space for the women and children in our community who are dying and are also experiencing homelessness. We are currently able to accommodate up to 4 guests at a time in our sanctuary for the dying, offering a safe, comfortable, peaceful home surrounded by nature for individuals to live out their remaining days. We provide non-medical comfort care, companionship and most importantly, unconditional love.
“I realized that I had the call to take care of the sick and the dying, the hungry, the naked, the homeless - to be God's Love in action to the poorest of the poor.” — Mother Teresa
About Aluna Bridge
We offer a safe, comfortable home, intentional meals, companionship as well as physical and spiritual comfort care for residents as they navigate grief and dying.
Many of our residents come to us after years of living on the streets or in forested, creekside encampments, where immersion in nature has become their normal. Honoring this connection, our nonprofit is guided by the rhythms of nature, reminding us of our deep interconnection as humans living upon the earth.
