About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

Cultivating a New Culture of Dying

Deep inquiry into your relationship with death leads to a clearer vision and increased reverence for your life.

The Mystery School of Living and Dying is a journey of self-discovery using practical and healing tools to explore our relationship with death. Together we will create a safe and dynamic space to express, explore and share.

Traditionally all cultures knew the art of tending to their loved ones at the time of death. It is only in the modern era that we have become disconnected from this process. Our time together is an opportunity to transform any fear or discomfort of death into an honoring of the sacredness of the great transition, life’s ending.

The philosophical, therapeutic and spiritual aspects of the program will be combined with a practical education regarding the death process. This includes advance directives, at-home palliative care, body preparation and best practices for supporting the self and others during these processes.

Perhaps the most profound medicine offered in this retreat will come from within the amplified group field we create with our presence. Your stories, talents and unique wisdom will emerge as valuable transmissions for all.

You'll leave with a heightened understanding of your personal journey & understanding of death culture, better integration of your heart, body and mind, new skills to tend the dying and with connections to a new community of friends and practitioners.
