Friday 8th – Sunday 10th December | with Gen Kelsang Dornying

We are alive, therefore we will die. This is the simplest, most obvious truth of our existence, yet very few of us have really come to terms with this fact.

On this inspiring weekend course, Gen Dornying will explain how to make the most of our human life, how to prepare for death and how to help others who are dying.

By developing this wisdom, instead of something to be feared or denied, death can become a positive experience.

Everyone welcome.
