We’ll explore how death can become a teacher—helping us reflect on who we are, how we want to live, and what matters most. We’ll write in response to simple prompts, reflect on the insights of wise teachers, and make space for optional sharing throughout.

What

Most people's first experience with death and dying is through the grief experienced when someone we love dies. I'm offering a space for people to begin exploring how grieving our losses can also lead to the important internal work of facing our own mortality.


Reflecting on death and dying isn’t easy. We may take care of practical matters—writing a will, making financial plans, clearing out the garage—but hesitate to consider how facing our mortality can deepen the way we live.


Everyone is welcome. This is not only for those facing aging. This is about living life more intentionally--using the fact that we will die as a teacher for how to do that.


People can expect to use writing as a tool for exploring and building community as we do this intimate work together.
