“Honey, life is like snow. You can't keep it!"
(Herman van Veen)
Even though most people would rather not think about their own mortality, it is inescapable that this is the case for all of us. In February 2024 Irène Bakker will again give the 4-week Live Course 'Living with Dying'.
Points of interest will include:
- What really matters in my life?
- Can a lived awareness of impermanence be an invitation to live this precious, sometimes painful life to the fullest?
- How do I deal with fear of the death of myself or loved ones?
- How is death and dying viewed in Buddhism?
- How do I actually want to live 'between now…… and then'?
- For everyone – young and old – who wants to reflect on this important theme.
- Also instructive for professionals or hospice workers.
- You enjoy experiential learning and deepening your knowledge.
- And are curious about the Buddhist approach to dying and death.
- Theoretical prior knowledge or experience with meditation is not necessary.
