Over the course of five weeks, engage in a thought-provoking and enlightening exploration of death's role in our lives. Through a dynamic schedule of two weekly calls from October 1 to November 5, you'll delve into a profound journey of self-discovery and cross-cultural exploration.

Immerse yourself in a deep dive into their perspectives on death, from the Mexica-Azteca to the Greeks, Celtics, and Mayans.

In these opening weeks, we'll set the foundation for our journey. Explore the life/death/life cycle, dive into the indigenous perspectives on relationships, and learn how different cultures perceive death as a transition rather than an end. Through guided meditations and community discussions, you'll begin to reshape your understanding of death and its role in our lives.

These weeks are dedicated to honoring ancestral wisdom. Discover the intricate art of crafting personal altars and learn how these rituals can serve as bridges to the afterlife and our ancestors. We'll venture into diverse cultural blueprints, uncovering the rituals of Celtic Ireland, the mysteries of ancient Egypt, and the soulful traditions of the Yoruba tribe. These insights will guide us towards a more profound relationship with our own ancestry.
Week 5: Embracing Transformation
As we approach the culmination of our journey, we'll explore the concept of transformation itself. Discover how different cultures perceive the various deaths within life - not just physical, but also the symbolic deaths that mark growth and change.
