Life and Death workshop

This workshop will be an exploration around the philosophical questions arising from the fact that the inevitable end of life is death.

But:

What is death?
What dies?
What is the contrast between what we know of the essence of life or being, and what is called death.

We will discover more about life and guidance from various sources of wisdom to give pointers to what death is about.

For instance one wise aphorism says: “Life has no end“… so what is death?

How our introductory courses work

A tutor presents philosophical ideas, and leads a discussion based on what arises in the group. Being practical rather than academic, the emphasis is on personal knowledge and experience. Students are encouraged neither to accept nor reject the ideas put forward, but to test them in practice for themselves, in the light of their own experience.
