We invite you to an intimate and transformative experience where participants will reflect on life, death, and the things they value most. Inspired by Japanese death-experience journeys (Shi no taiken ryokō), the workshop offers a safe space to confront mortality while rediscovering what makes life meaningful. Through guided exercises and shared stories, participants will reconnect with forgotten desires and open conversations often avoided.
Workshops on Dying is a storytelling-based workshop led by writer and reporter Katarzyna Boni, created as part of the 7th edition of the We Do Festival of Contemporary Polish Arts & Culture: Turning Point [FULL FESTIVAL PROGRAMME: www.wedo.no]
