David Arfa works full-time with Baystate Hospice where he coordinates their bereavement services and provides grief counseling. He retrained as a spiritual counselor ten years ago and has served as a chaplain in community hospitals, behavioral health hospitals, and elder care facilities. Rooted in both trauma-informed care and grief-informed care, he has developed specialties in spiritual care for addiction treatment, for end-of-life, and for the non-religious. David is also a storyteller and educator who is rooted in Judaism’s storytelling heritage and ancient environmental wisdom. He has helped renew the role of Maggid (Hebrew for storyteller) in the Jewish community. David leads contemplative Shabbat-inspired hikes at the High Ledges Audubon Sanctuary.
