Spiritual Care With The Dying Retreat Level 1
A BUDDHIST
PERSPECTIVE
_____________
with
Venerable Tenzin
Chodron
An intensive 5-day retreat focusing on understanding death and dying from a spiritual perspective, drawing from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition and its application to end of life care.
o Practical skills in compassionate care and support of the dying and their families
o The spiritual needs of the dying
o Meditative and contemplative practices related to spiritually preparing for death and spiritual practices for the time of death
o Developing understanding of issues connected with letting go, transforming suffering, loving kindness and compassion
o Building and deepening one’s own spiritual practice
The retreat will be deeply experiential – we will be applying all of the principles discussed to our own lives as well as the lives of others, with the understanding that the more we face and prepare for our own death, the more present we can be with others in preparing for theirs.

What is a Death Festival?
Following last years success, discover the essence of the Death Festival with Pure Land Home Hospice and Centennial Park. The festival is a nurturing and compassionate approach to embracing life’s inevitable journey. While death is a universal truth, it’s often shrouded in taboo, leaving many unprepared to face it.
Death festivals offer a unique way to confront this reality, fostering dialogue, meditation and storytelling to alleviate the fear surrounding death. We’re excited to once again bring this annual event to South Australia, aiming to demystify death and spark meaningful community conversations.
This public event features expert speakers, a children’s area, art therapy, a Death Café, meditations, informative market stalls and much more.
The SA Death Festival is a cornerstone for community engagement and brings so much benefit to all South Australians.
