FAQ

Will the teachings conflict with my religious background?

The workshop is meant to give clarity and direction about the topic of death according to the Tibetan and yogic teachings.

On the surface, if you have a traditional religious background, you may perceive conflicts in the terminology or beliefs presented. However, you will also learn that in fact many spiritual and religious traditions have similar, if not the same, teachings about the process of death; it is often the case that simply different words are applied for the same concepts.

We would invite you to keep an open mind and take from the teachings what is useful for you.

Does this have anything to do with assisted suicide?

No. This workshop is entirely focused on a spiritual approach to the natural occurrence of death.

Is this workshop suited for a total beginner in spirituality?

Absolutely. Both beginners and experienced spiritual practitioners alike will gain a tremendous understanding of death and the confidence to deal with this subject in practical dimensions.
