Ancestors in Training

A meditation on end-of-life and what comes next…
Presented by Astoria Death Cafe facilitators Dell Hambleton and Dardinelle Troen

Astoria Visual Arts
959 Commercial Street, Astoria OR

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, an artist and end-of-life doula, will guide participants through a 45-minute seated meditation that explores the nine contemplations, incorporating visualizations that reflect on our role as future ancestors.

RSVP or for questions email: Dardi@viemort.com
