Ars Moriendi: The Art and Craft of Dying
Class - Spring Only | Available (Membership Required)
In this course, we will explore how we have considered death and dying through past centuries. We will contemplate how we ourselves might approach and steward this last sacred journey. The exploration will call upon a willingness and deep courage to immerse ourselves in a topic that most of us would like to avoid even thinking about. We will attempt to articulate and explore what "dying well" and "dying wise" might look like in the course of living deeply and well.
NO CLASS on March 11 (Spring Break)
