LANDSCAPES OF DEATH AND DYING: REIMAGINING COSMOVISIONS

LANDSCAPES OF DEATH AND DYING: REIMAGINING COSMOVISIONS

Facilitated by: Wilka Roig, MA, MFA
Date:
Saturday, May 18th, 2024 | 10:00 am – 5:30 pm (ET)
Price: $250.00


A journey through time and place to cultivate greater cross-cultural awareness and sensibility in the realms of dying, death, and life after death and to reframe limited points of view through more expansive and inclusive perspectives. We meet other viewpoints, explore different ideas about death and the grieving process, connect with our own inner knowing and imaginal cosmovisions, and generate new visions and innovative approaches in the work of companioning and end-of-life.

We will focus on: 

  • transcending scripts, labels, myths
    • reframing trauma and tragedy
    • honoring origins
    • remembering our nature
    • evolving beyond ethnocentrism and insularity


Teaching dynamics include: 

lectures, practices, conversations, experiential exercises, breakout group work, and self-reflection exercises.
