Memento Mori: Reflecting On Mortality, Awakening To Life

In this 5-day Memento Mori course, we’ll explore how awareness of death can deepen our appreciation for life. We’ll begin by looking at the history and cultural roots of Memento Mori, then gently face common fears around death and learn ways to meet them with acceptance and understanding. Next, we’ll use journaling as a powerful tool to reflect on our mortality, guided by ten thoughtful prompts. From there, you’ll find inspiration to craft your own meaningful Memento Mori keepsake. Finally, we’ll close the course with a nurturing guided meditation, featuring a body scan, gentle visualization, a loving-kindness practice, and Stoic wisdom. By the end, you’ll have practical tools to live with more presence, gratitude, and heart. Trigger Warning: This course involves reflections on death.
