Throughout time, wisdom-keepers have expressed practices of impermanence and non-attachment as rituals of embodied living honoring the gift of life. Ultimately, practicing and accepting death as a part of conscious living can be freeing, and bring peace in life as well as in death and dying.
In this highly experiential workshop, we will practice conscious living and dying through ritual and ceremony, shamanic journey, honoring grief and loss in our lives. Participants will join in the creation of a communal sacred sand mandala which will then be offered back to the earth in recognition of the impermanence of life.
All materials for the mandala making are provided. Please dress for the weather as we may spend time outside on the grounds in nature. Feel free to bring portable sacred items for the communal altar space.
Location: 1926 N. Main St in Wheaton, IL
