Advanced Directive Gathering
Sunday, March 25, 2018
3:00 - 5:00pm PST
at Nalanda West
Spring is here! What better way to engage in some "personal spring cleaning" by taking stock of our life, preparing for our death, and ensuring all our affairs are in order. Once again, we take a break from our usual monthly Death Cafe process at Nalanda West to consider the art of living while dying.
Please join me at on Sunday, March 25, 2023 for an afternoon of reflection and discussion about end-of-life care planning and advanced directives. You will receive a copy of the Five Wishes and be guided through various questions regarding who you would like to make medical decision for you when you are unable, what types of medical interventions you want, how comfortable do you want to be, and what do you want your loved ones to know when you are gone.
Breathing Your Way to Acceptance & Compassion

Feeling stuck?
Do you feel stuck, and unable to move forward with your life, no matter how much you try?
Do you experience irritation, aggravation and frustration in situations, others or yourself and you are unsure why?
Do find yourself ruminating about life events over and over again, unable to let go and find peace?
Holding on to the past is a lot of work and demands a great deal of our life energy. Holding on to the past prevents us from living fully in the present moment, and blocks our expressions of joy and gratitude. We are resistant to compassion and acceptance when we fear that if we do we will loose our drive, forget what has happened, or excuse other’s behaviors. Yet, compassion and acceptance neither condemns or condones. Compassion and acceptance focuses on making peace with our past so we can move on with living. Though simple in process, compassion and acceptance are far from easy, and requires commitment and practice.
Breathing Your Way to Compassion & Acceptance is a two- day journey into the process of letting go of the past, and focusing on how we wish to live our lives. Combining the art and wisdom of breathwork, meditation, biofeedback and compassion & acceptance practices, participants will learn about the following concepts and practices:
Rudimentary introduction to the nervous system and how early experiences hardwire us to either hold on to the past or to accept and move forward
Basic biomechanical, biochemical, neurological and psychological factors of breathing, how breathing postures and patterns can influence the heart and balances the nervous system
Functional versus dysfunctional breathing patterns
Basic steps to compassion and acceptance and how to blame less and take life events less personally
Compassion and acceptance practices to increase resiliency and freedom
