Letting Go in Love
Letting go in love; cultivating a relationship with our own death
with Anne Overzee
Nov. 22-24 2024 – Oct. 3-5 2025 (for all dates see website below)
This course comprises a series of five interrelated retreat-workshops exploring the theme of our own death. Those who work with the dying often share the view that it can be a time of healing and spiritual transformation. We will prioritise ‘being with’ our death in the present in different ways, including through creativity, silence, and ritual; deepening our enquiry through co-creating a field of heart in the context of the wild beauty of Dartmoor.
The course will include exploring together how the bardos (as described in the Tibetan text, Liberation through Hearing in the Bardos) can support an unveiling of our radiant sacred nature through all the transition moments in our lives, including our dying.
Booking deadline: September 1st, 2024

“A little over a year ago, this most precious and beautiful of souls left us for pastures new. We love him deeply and miss him terribly. By way of staying sane in the wake of his absence we are building him a boat of gratitude and love.”

The actors and musician will then ‘playback’ whatever has been shared in a way that reflects the tellers’ experience. This can be poignant and powerful, funny, courageous and moving. Each performance is unique to the day depending on what the audience share. One story will answer another and in this way a depth of understanding is felt by all present.
