Ancestors in Training

  • Astoria Visual Arts 959 Commercial Street Astoria, Oregon, 97103 United States (map)

Join us for an afternoon of guided meditation focused on cultivating mindfulness and awareness of our mortality. We will draw inspiration from Maranasati, or The Nine Contemplations of Death, a Buddhist meditation practice designed to help us confront and overcome our resistance to death and dying. The primary purpose of these practices is to face our own mortality, similar to traditional meditation, intended to enhance our appreciation for the richness of everyday life. Dardinelle Troen will guide participants through a meditation that explores the nine contemplations, incorporating visualizations that reflect on our role as future ancestors.
