On his deathbed, Plato advised: Practice dying. In the 2,000 years since, we’ve focused on living, but what about dying? This work offers a kind, open, and dignified approach to death, allowing exploration of its meaning in our lives and the lives of others. Founded by Joan Halifax, this initiative began to help healthcare professionals and patients view death through compassion and awakening. The audio learning course distills insights from this influential program, blending Eastern and Western psychology, philosophy, and contemplative practices from various spiritual traditions. This innovative, hands-on approach teaches medical professionals, social workers, clergy, community activists, and spiritual seekers how to alleviate the fear surrounding dying. By caring for the dying, we learn to care wisely for the living and for life itself. In our culture, life is often linked to success and death to failure. This work examines death not as a medical success or failure, but as a chance for awakening. Join Joan Halifax to learn essential practices for creating a calm, mindful, sacred space that brings life and death into full awareness.
