Hosted by Death Doula LA in Chinatown, Los Angeles!
Let's gather to honor our human need for self-reflection as we seek a deeper understanding of our own thoughts and experiences related to living fully and dying prepared.
Welcoming deathcare providers, death literacy advocates, and curious mortals alike!
INTENTIONS
Contemplation: Feel invited to reflect back, turn inward, and plan ahead.
Creativity: Tap into your imagination and natural insightfulness.
Connection: Connect to yourself and a community of kindreds.
Expect topic talks, group discussions, partner debriefs, and reflective writing.
“In order to understand the world, one has to turn away from it on occasion.” – Albert Camus
TOPICS
First, we will bring our whole selves and hearts together by setting intentions and making a communal altar.
Next, we will discuss ingrained messaging and past experiences with mortality while exploring our own healing presence.
Then, we will focus on healthy preparedness as we create components of our Death Journals and consider how we might be held in the memories of others.
Infused throughout will be guided visualizations and contemplative prompts to foster clarity.
By the end of our immersion, your Death Journal will contain a number of unique, inspired entries with plenty of space for continued work!
