Living Funeral Ceremony
To contemplate death is life-affirming.
What is a Living Funeral Ceremony?
The ceremony is an experience which focuses on turning towards one’s own mortality. Participants are capped at 6 to keep the experience small and intimate. Over the course of approximately 2 hours, each participant encounters their own memorial, engages in a writing exercise, and then is lead through a guided death meditation. It is a potentially transformative journey and can invite a new outlook on life as a whole.

I went in to the experience with a certain idea of what my takeaway would be; I was happily surprised. And honestly, I believe the gifts of such a richly prepared and held space would offer a unique takeaway each time...Living in the consciousness of death is freeing.

Being offered the opportunity to slow down, to sit and feel, to hold the question of how I want to enter my death gave me a keen awareness and urgency to live more fully...to not wait or waste a second of this journey.

"The times of dying, of real and proper sorrow, could be woven by a gratitude for being around long enough to be overwhelmed by something that happens every day, by ordinary awe. And each of us could be gathered in by the raveling covenant of sorrow and thanksgiving as our days end."~Stephen Jenkinson
