Mae Hosbis Daear yn fodel o fyw ac o farw mewn ffordd ymwybodol.
Rydan ni'n fenter gymdeithasol wedi'i ffurfio o saith o gyfarwyddwyr gyda'r nod o godi a***n i brynu darn o dir ar ffiniau Bethesda.
Rydan ni eisio dod yn stiwardiaid ar y tir er budd y gymdogaeth leol, ac er mwyn cynnig model o ofal diwedd oes i'r byd sydd yn cefnogi perthynas iawn efo'r tir yn ogystal â'r gymuned.
Nid hosbis feddygol fydd hon. Mae'r gair hosbis yn gwreiddio o'r ystyr 'lletygarwch', sef i ddangos croeso. Bydd Hosbis Daear yn darparu awyrgylch cartrefol ble mae'r gofal yn holistig, a ble gallai pobl marw wedi'u hamgylchynu gan natur a gan y rhai sy'n eu caru.
Cymerwch olwg ar ein gwefan a'n tudalen gweplyfr am ragor o wybodaeth am yr eiddo ei hun. Yn ogystal â gwlâu hosbis byddan ni hefyd yn cynnig lle seibiant ac encil, ac mi fyddan ni'n adnodd dysgu, yn fan i ddod ynghyd ac yn gartref i gladdfa naturiol.
Mae gennym ni gweledigaeth i greu neuadd gylchol gan ddefnyddio dulliau adeiladu cynaliadwy, bydd yn cael ei enwi'n Domen y Crannog. Bydd hon yn lloches ac yn le i straeon waelod y galon i gael eu rhannu a'u plethu efo mytholeg hynafol Eryri.
Os byddi di'n cyfrannu i'n Crowdfunder bydd dy enw di ac enwau dy cyn-neiniau a theidiau yn cael eu cerfio i fframwaith pren y Domen.
Rydan ni'n anelu i godi hanner miliwn o bunnoedd, gyda tharged amgenach o un filiwn, ac rydan ni wir yn credu y gallai'r a***n hwn dod oddi wrth y llawer o filoedd o bobl sy'n rhannu ein hangerdd, ac sydd eisio bod yn rhan o newid y ffordd rydan ni'n ystyried a thrin a phobl sydd yn marw.
Os gwelwch yn dda rhowch beth allech chi, a chofia: mae eich cred ynom ni'r un mor bwysig â'ch rhodd a***nnol, felly os wnewch chi rannu hwn efo gymaint o bobl a phosib byddan ni'n hynod ddiolchgar.
What is Earth Hospice?
We are a hospice with a difference. Earth Hospice is a model for sustainable living and dying.
At Earth hospice, we believe that death is just a natural part of life; the hospice is a place and space of peace, whereby connecting to the land and nature, people come back into relationship with the ever-changing seasons of life and death.
Home from Home…
Most people want to die at home. Unfortunately, this isn’t always possible and most deaths happen in a hospital or hospice, often a clinical environment is not conducive to a ‘good death’. Even when death at home is possible, the practical pressures and emotional weight of caring for a loved one can be overwhelming.
There are currently no hospice beds in Gwynedd. Earth Hospice provides a “home from home” for those who want support during the dying process. We are part of a community conversation about death. A death-conscious community can hold dying people and their families in ways that institutions cannot.
Our vision- what will Earth hospice look like?
The hospice will be in Tirioni, Bethesda, which is currently the site of ‘The Joys of life’ centre.
Within the hospice there are bedrooms, a communal eating space and a sociable living room. There is also accommodation on the premises for the staff; care is always available at Earth Hospice. Also on the land is a respite centre for carers and those who have longer to live- a beautiful, supportive environment in which to spend time regenerating.
We also have a café, a library and an allotment garden. We are a place for space, to expand and to go within. Our retreat centre will offer holistic therapy session, training days and help with paperwork (such as drawing up a will). We will also offer griefwork and bereavement support.
The heart of our centre will be Tomen Y Crannog (The Mound), a space for ceremony and ritual, which welcomes local groups and events and is home to the Spirit Stage. The Spirit Stage is a place to gather, to tell stories and weave magic, wisdom and insight. Outside is our willow circle; she holds space for outdoor ceremony.
The Chapel of Rest is a natural underground chamber, lined and kept cool by Welsh slate.
The long barrow is a sacred space for holding urns of ash, and in the beautiful woodland lies our natural burial ground, along with our House of Ancestors. This is a place to grieve and deeply acknowledge the deceased.
