Dr. Michelle Peticolas
Producer/Director
 

Michelle is an independent filmmaker with a doctorate in sociology from Indiana University. She worked with the award-winning New York documentary production company, Claypoint Productions, on The Creative Spark, one of a 4-part series on dreaming for the Discover Channel and other films. In New York City and later in San Francisco, she produced and hosted a popular half-hour cable series, On the Edge, exploring the mind, body, spirit connection.

Since the deaths of her parents, she has been working on a four-part film series, Secrets of Life and Death, which focuses on death as an impetus for personal and spiritual change. The films have the stamp of her twenty-plus years with a Sufi Master from Baghdad. She has been screening them in workshops to explore presence with dying. As an outgrowth of her film work, she currently teaches seminars on end-of-life at JFK University and leads a partner-loss support group at Sutter VNA and Hospice.
