The Unfolding: A Yoga Workshop on Mortality, Death & Dying
Are you seeking a contemplative, safe, and supportive space to explore your thoughts and feelings about death and dying? Join us for this interactive and thought provoking workshop designed to facilitate open and honest conversations about death, end-of-life wishes, fears, and hopes around this topic.
Our experienced facilitators will navigate the conversation, offering guidance and support as we work to guide you through these discussions aiming to break down taboos and make them more approachable and meaningful. This workshop aims to demystify death and make end-of-life conversations less uncomfortable and more common. By transforming what are often difficult conversations into opportunities for connection, we aim to empower participants to live a more fulfilling life and approach end-of-life with greater peace and clarity.
