Break through Denial: A Buddhist-based Approach to Death & Dying

September 30, 2017 @ 10:00 am - 4:30 pm

With Mushim & Rev. Tova Green

Birth inevitably leads to death in the Buddhist view of life. Yet the closer this reality presents itself, the harder it can be to accept and prepare for our own death and the death of loved ones. In breaking through denial about death and dying, we might find, surprisingly, that beyond resistance and fear lies joy and everyday wise action. This daylong includes meditation (beginners are invited), Dharma talks on a Buddhist understanding of death, and culturally-informed, interactive activities around grief and loss, as well as practical preparations to leave our affairs in order.
