Daylong Teaching ‘The Meaning of Death’
‘This is a day to practice something of the crazed wisdom and radical etiquette of the ending of days, which is our human birthright’.
What began as technological sophistication and therapeutic savvy is now what must be called Health Madness, and it’s home ground is the grief-and-loss industry. This meeting will probe the cultural poverty of our time that masquerades as individual freedom, and consider deeply the project of reviving the withered imagination which lingers in each of our attempts to cope, hope and, when that fails, dope. Themes to be considered include: languages of essence and relation, the tripod of health, faithful witness unto death, the spells of eternity and universality.
