SUMMARY:Every Precious Moment  – Mindfulness of Death, Impermanence & Uncertainty
DESCRIPTION:Death isn’t just something that happens on one particular day. Death and dying are intimately related to life and living.  In this weekend workshop, we will work together to explore what it truly means to make friends with life’s only certainty.  Through the practice of meditation, mindfulness and group exploration we will endeavor to become clearer, confident, open and fearless.\n\nJoin us in a nourishing and restorative retreat exploring what it means to make friends with death. Recently popular Death Cafes have helped to relax the taboo of speaking about death. Come and be nurtured and supported by the beautiful Wangapeka environment as we create a community of courageous conversations.\nThis retreat is suitable for health professionals, lay people, those new and those experienced in meditation.\nPlease contact Di on 021 025 35843 or dianelittletree@hotmail.com ( mailto:dianelittletree@hotmail.com ) for more information.\n“Most of us go to extraordinary lengths to ignore, laugh off or deny the fact that we are going to die, but preparing for death is one of the most rational and rewarding acts of a lifetime. It is an exercise that gives us the opportunity to deal with unfinished business and enter into a new and vibrant relationship with life”  from “A Year to Live” by Stephen Levine.\n\nCosts\nInclusive of accommodation, food, cooks and resource fee:\n\nMembers: $215\nNon-members: $235\nThis weekend is freely offered by dana/koha.  You are welcome to offer dana/koha to the facilitators.\nAbout the facilitators\n\nDi Johnston is a New Zealand Registered Nurse with 25 years of experience working with people and family at end of life and those facing life-limiting illness.
