In Sanskrit, maranasati means “remembrance of death”. In Latin, the parallel term is "memento mori". Both have been used for millennia to name the powerful role of contemplating mortality in spiritual liberation in both the East and West. This special evening invites us to join the long tradition of death contemplation while also honoring more modern celebrations with death at their center: Halloween and Día de los Muertos. Meditators will be encouraged to rest in savasana, or corpse pose, during the hour-long meditation so factor that into your costume. Chairs will also be available for those who prefer to sit.
Warning: we will be diving into a deep contemplation of death. This can bring up deep psychological material: please do not attend unless you are feeling psychologically hearty and fully resourced.
