Death and Rebirth after Covid-19

Where & when:

Death and Rebirth after Covid-19

What do I do? Knowing that I am going to die, what do I do? Knowing that our world will end, given the crises of this moment, what do we do? What can we do, even? What can we only do together? In this meditation, we will sit with our mortality and the too-possible-to-be-comfortable collapse of our world as we’ve known it, working with this inquiry alone, and in small breakout groups. If a global, Integral Awakening is happening, if it is even possible, what must we let die for this rebirth to take place? How can we respond to this overwhelming situation, to the amazing opportunity of this life, from a place of presence, awareness, and purpose? Inspired by the Embodied Death Contemplations of Vincent Horn and Stephen Batchelor.
