Each of us knows that one day our body will die. But are we ready for that ending, and have we taken the time to consider what it means to us?
In this three part online series, we will contemplate the end of our lives and what might make it possible to “end well”. Through guided contemplation, writing, and group discussion, we will begin to bring both meaning and action into focus.
Class Dates:
January 18th- Part 1: Impermanence
January 25th- Part 2: Identity
February 1st- Part 3: Legacy
This course is intended to bring end of life issues into clearer focus. It is a step on the journey to ending well and it is a collaborative action. Guided contemplation and writing prompts will be offered. How we cover each topic will be guided by what each participant brings to the group.
Each class will be held via Zoom Meeting from 6:30-8:30 PM. A replay will be provided to each registered participant within 48 hours of the original broadcast.
NOTE: ZOOM LINK IS THE SAME EVERY WEEK!
The link for the course will be shared in the confirmation email, as well as prior to each class. All links will come from Eventbrite, so PLEASE CHECK YOUR SPAM FOLDERS if you do not receive a confirmation after your ticket purchase.
