|  | | Product Description | | On his deathbed, Plato was asked to summarize his life’s work. He replied: “Practice dying.” In the 2,000 years since Plato offered this wise admonition, we have developed many practices associated with living. But what of the practices associated with dying?
Being with Dying is a response to this question: an approach to
death that is kind, open, and dignified, and that allows us to explore
the meaning of death in the experience of our own lives and through
the lives of others. Founded by Joan Halifax, Being with Dying
began as a project to help health care professionals and their patients
learn to “see death and know life in terms of compassion and
awakening.” Distilled from this influential program, the Being with Dying audio learning course combines Eastern and Western
psychology, philosophy, and contemplative practices from many
spiritual traditions. This innovative, hands-on approach has taught
medical professionals, social workers, clergy, community activists,
and spiritual seekers an elegant path for taking the fear out of the
dying experience. In gently caring for the dying, we also learn to
more wisely care for the living—and for life itself.
Often in our culture, life is equated with success and death with
failure. Being with Dying honestly examines death and dying, not in
terms of medical success or failure—but as a possibility for
awakening. Join Joan Halifax and learn key practices for creating a
calm, mindful, sacred space where life and death are brought into
the full light of awareness.
