Description:
Death is the secret teacher hiding in plain sight. Death helps us to discover what matters most, and the good news is that we don’t have to wait until the end of our lives to realize the wisdom that death has to offer. Weaving together pragmatic tools, real life stories, and ancient wisdom, Frank and Vinny will help us discover how an awareness of death can be a valuable companion on the road to living well and forging a rich and meaningful life that is free of regret.

Join these two friends and teachers for an honest exploration of living and dying. Together we will explore this topic through Dharma talks, guided meditations, discussion, and a session for questions. No hiding, no easy answers, no part left out.
