A Saturday Retreat.

Despite the inevitability of our death, and the complete uncertainty of its time,  few of us give it a moment’s thought until it’s too late. In this retreat, we can learn how coming to terms with our mortality enriches our life and enables us  to meet our passing with dignity, confidence and, yes, even joy. We can be inspired to live a pure, liberating lifestyle in which every moment is meaningful. Overcoming our own aversion, we will be able to help our relatives and friends to be less isolated and more peaceful as they are dying.
