Inspirations on Dying - Livewelldiewise

We are born, we do stuff, we die

We are born, we do stuff, we die. Not only that, but our ancestors were born, did stuff and died and so will those who follow us. This obvious existential truth is the holding frame for our Live Well Die Wise gatherings. Within this frame we will, together, touch the moment in which we each find ourselves - today, now. This ‘moment’ may be a life transition of some sort: a relationship change, a personal or global health crisis, a professional decision to be taken, maybe we find ourselves wondering how many more seasons we have left or see the climate emergency as an existential moment for humanity. We invite a maximum of eight people to join the four virtual sessions on 27th May, 10th June, 24th of June and 8th of July 2021 20.00 CE(S)T

It is imperative to enage in the conversation of dying well

What moves me in Jenkinson’s work is his activist tone of voice. “It’s not success; it’s not growth; it’s not happiness; it’s the love of life that cradles the moment that signifies the end is [...]

Death is The Cradle of Your Love of life

The crucible of making human beings is death. Every culture worth a damn knows that. It’s not success; it’s not growth, it’s not happiness; it’s death.
