... but if so, isn’t it odd how little we face up to death : and isn’t it odd that modern societies, which appear so keen to find meaning in the business of living, push death to the periphery, minimizing our contact with it and sanitizing its impact !

The purpose of this seminar is to discover, to learn through investigation, to discover within the self the barriers and fears associated with death and dying ~ the fears and barriers we create living each day

We will welcome silence, experience quiet reflection, dialog, inner inquiry :
ponder expectation and conditioning

We will consider our own death and the death of our loved ones: we will inquire into being with others in their final days of living

We will inquire into the social, ethical and spiritual implications, regarding the physiological and psychological effects on the body regarding loss, stress, fear, disbelief, isolation, anger, bargaining, pain, grief, sorrow, depression and despair.

What is it to be stable?
Stability of thought, of health, of environment.

Change is always present, change can be liberating, devastating, confusing, bringing clarity.

What does it mean to be in relationship, to attachment, to expectations. How do our expectations sabotage a sense of what is.

Escaping from facing facts, from facing the consequences of what is, perhaps this is a form of suicide?

The inability to accept change for many differing reasons. What happens when stress becomes an overload?
