About the Event
Along with being loved by God, mortality is the one universal of the human condition. If we want to be truly alive, we must honestly face the reality of death and ready ourselves for the final (and perhaps greatest) moment on our spiritual journey. Join us as we look closely at the dying process and explore how meditation and prayer can help us surrender the "small self" now so we can gratefully and fearlessly let go when our time has come.
Free; donations gratefully accepted. No experience necessary.
