Although many factors combine to make death and dying a challenging topic to contemplate, gentle reflection on these themes can cultivate wise response, and support us in living more fully now. This series will explore ways that a balanced reflection on death can support wise and diverse action in three circles: with ourselves, with our close community, and globally, with all beings, in the climate crisis.
