DEATH : The Reason to Live Life Fully

Death is not the opposite of life, but a part of it — a threshold, a teacher, a mirror.

In this half-day workshop, we invite you to gather in a spirit of reverence and curiosity as we turn gently toward one of life’s most profound passages. Through mindfulness, story, somatic presence, and deep listening, we’ll explore death not as something to fear, but as something that can illuminate the way we live.

Together, we will:

• Sit with the mystery of impermanence

• Meet the body’s wisdom in the face of fear and loss

• Share personal and cultural narratives of dying

• Practice presence — for ourselves, and for those we love

This is not a lecture, but a shared experience — a circle held by four guides from different paths:

• Matt Condon, mindfulness teacher and former pastor

• Sherry Burns, end-of-life doula and hospice volunteer

• Dr. Jessie Tierney, physical therapist and trauma-sensitive yoga teacher

• Tony Santelli, elder and visionary, transformed by a near-death encounter with COVID

Whether you are grieving, preparing, supporting others, or simply feeling the stirrings of a deeper inquiry — you are welcome here.

Come as you are. Bring your questions, your stories, your silence.
