When Death Comes: A Contemplative Approach to Compassionate Care
How do we want to we meet our dying... and the death of our loved ones? What are we willing to do to meet death in a peaceful and sane way? According to the wisdom of Buddha, we can use our lives to prepare for the moment of death. And that same preparation becomes a path for living a more wise and loving life.
The day will be devoted to an exploration of our relationship to death and the qualities that best serve at the time of dying, such as... giving no fear.... a calm and loving presence and non-attachment to outcome. The teachers will introduce and work with the three primary practices of not knowing, bearing witness and compassionate action.
The day will include dialogue, guided meditations, experiential exercises and an overview of a contemplative approach to care of the dying. This workshop is open to all but may be of particular interest to healthcare professionals, those living with illness or those who anticipate caring for family members or friends facing life-threatening illness.
