Touching death – a focusing journey exploring the mystery of death
Peter Gill
11th December 2022 The Well Centre, Westbury on Trym, Bristol
Specialist Workshop/Event
When we look at the natural world with open eyes we see the full cycle of death and life. We see how a forest depends on death for its life. Our own lives are dependant on this cycle. All life ends in death, every being that lives will disappear. Yet, how come so many of struggle so much with this essential truth?
Beneath the usual thoughts and reactions to the reality of our own death, what might our deeper wisdom have to say about it? What does our body know about it? How might our reactions be shaped by the broader culture of “death denial”? and might we bring a fresh knowing to the whole thing?
This day retreat will be an experiential immersion into these questions: Using poetry, reflection,Focusing practice in pair and discussion.
