SUMMARY:Making Friends with Death, with Di Johnston & Chani Grieve
DESCRIPTION:“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”\n Stephen Levine “From a Year to Live”\n \nJoin us in a nourishing and restorative retreat exploring what it means to make friends with death. 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.\nThrough the practice of meditation, mindfulness and group exploration we will endeavour to make friends, not only with the reality of death, but with all of our feelings and responses to it.\nWe will create a community of courageous conversations to become clearer, confident, open and fearless.\nDi Johnston & Chani Grieve endeavour to bring life & practice alive through creativity, connection, compassionate care & deep respect for each persons unique unfolding.\n \n\nDi 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.\n \n\nChani has been passionately practicing meditation and a variety of embodiment modalities for over 15 years. She works as a Feldenkrais Practitioner and Community Support Worker and is deeply engaged with the cultivation of “Awakening in Community” with her mentors and peers. Chani’s particular skills are in guiding people to discover for themselves the liberating power of working with the body.\nCosts\nInclusive of accommodation, food, cook and resource fee:\nMembers: $230\nNon-members: $250\nThe facilitation of this weekend, May 28 @ 5:00 pm – May 30 @ 3:00 pm, is freely offered.
