Saturday 7 July - 10am to 4pm
In this workshop Venerable Rinchen will help us to explore our fears around death and dying by opening up the conversations we need to have about it, openly and honestly. The day will include looking at our own death, the death of loved ones. How to create our own funeral and service. How to organise all the practical things so that we can then look at the spiritual aspect of dying. We will explore the possibility of living with the thought of our death as a timely reminder that we are but temporary visitors on this earth, how then to make it meaningful, so that when we look back when it comes to an end, without regret.
The day will include, discussion, meditation and some creative exercises. At the end of the workshop their will be a special Tibetan ritual for the deceased.
Venerable Rinchen has been working within the palliative care area as a volunteer and spiritual carer for those who are dying/facing death, she brings a light touch to a subject that is often heavy and uncomfortable. Bring your tissues and your sense of humor, both are needed on this journey towards facing our own death.
At the end of the workshop Rinchen will do the special Soor Practice for the deceased for those of you who would like to stay behind to participate. The practice will be done for those recently deceased as well as anyone's loved ones who have died and they would like included.
Light lunch will be provided. Cost is $70 or $60 members/concession. To book and pay click on the trybooking link: https://www.trybooking.com/WFIX
