Online: Contemplating Death to Liberate Your Life
with Martin Aylward
Sunday, September 20th, 2020 | 10:00am – 1:00pm ET
We all know we going to die. Death is always in the air, the only certainty awaiting our fragile, precious, fleeting lives.
Dharma practice shows us how to lean into this stark truth – meeting and embracing our dying nature so as to live more fully and freely. Our collective awareness of and exposure to death is increasingly highlighted through the COVID pandemic, the threat of ecological collapse, and the recognition of how not all lives are equally valued.
Join us for this online day of potent practices and liberating teachings for living fully and dying freely.
