Daylong: Recollecting Death
We are coming up on Halloween, followed immediately by the Days of the Dead. While modern society tends to shy away from discussions of our mortality, traditions old as history encourage us to look, to remember, to consider.
This online daylong will focus on bringing forward the Recollection of Death and keeping it with us through the day. With chanting, reflections, and meditation, we’ll step back for a few hours from the hustle and bustle of the living world and into the timeless space of mindfulness.
Attendance is open to all and pre-registration is not required. Come for all or part.
