    Sometimes it takes stepping away from the day-to-day to deeply ponder what it means to be living this precious, finite life. WILLOW’s six-day, reflection retreat includes a beautiful balance of facilitated workshops, personal writing time and curated, local, cultural activities, the highlight being a guided cemetery experience of the Day of the Dead or Dia de los Muertos.

    Event Details

    Yoga is rich with wisdom for living well, but can it teach us about dying well? In fact, there are profound teachings about death nested in each of the eight limbs of yoga, as described by the sage Patanjali. From aparigraha (non-attachment) to savasana (corpse pose), and from khumbhaka (breath retention) to abhinivesha (the pain that results from clinging to life), yoga offers encouragement to contemplate one’s own death as a lifelong spiritual practice.

    This 2-hour workshop combines discussion and experiential learning to explore teachings both traditional and contemporary around yoga and dying.
