Liberating Death

Death is scary! The concept of a good death is something that is ever shifting depending on our intersecting identities. Our relationship to death can be tinged with various emotions: fear, grief, acceptance, curiosity. How can we cultivate mindfulness of our mortality? Meditation is a tool that connects us with our breath, one of the last things we do while alive!
