Retreat | On-Land | Hybrid
Saturday, October 26 | 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM
Death is the secret teacher hiding in plain sight. Death helps us discover what matters most, and we don’t have to wait until the end of our lives to realize the wisdom that death has to offer. Weaving together pragmatic tools, real life stories, and ancient wisdom, Frank and Vinny will help us discover how an awareness of death can be a valuable companion on the road to living well and forging a rich, meaningful life.

October 27 - November 2, 2024 | Sunday - Saturday | 6 nights
18 CE Credits.
Spaces Available. We all “know” we will die, yet we tend to ignore it and put our collective heads in the sand. Rather than running away from our inevitable mortality, we can harness its power to stay aligned with our deepest values and to live and love more fully. Fully embracing life’s impermanence can engender a deep freedom and letting go. Through mindfulness of death (maraṇasati), we become more present for this miraculous, passing show called life with gladness and gratitude.
Training | Online Non-Residential
January 25 - December 13, 2025 | 12 Sessions, plus Graduation in January 2026
Registration Now Open (August 30). In this year-long program, based on the book A Year to Live by Stephen Levine, we will focus on waking up and living life more fully through the exploration of death as spiritual practice. The Buddha recommended that we contemplate the inevitability of our death in order to help us awaken to the fragile, fleeting, and precious nature of our lives. All are welcome as we join in community for this year-long practice in forgiveness, gratitude, and letting go.
