Graceful Exit: Preparing for a Good Death Practical Advice and Spiritual Wisdom Weekend Workshop With Author and Spiritual Teacher, Andrew Holecek
In this weekend workshop, Andrew Holecek guides us through the profound teachings on the process of death and dying from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. From practices and teachings to prepare us for our death, to a thorough view of the Bardos (the after-death states), you'll learn everything you need to know to transform the greatest obstacle into the greatest opportunity.
Andrew will also cover many of the practical issues around dying, including medical and legal concerns before, during, and after death, as well as difficult issues such as organ donation, euthanasia, suicide, and the death of a pet.
This weekend combines practices, teachings, and discussions that will enhance your understanding and experience of both your own death as well as the death of your loved ones. Anyone committed to transforming their relationship to death experienced practitioners and those new to the path, as well as those who work in helping professions will find this weekend deeply enriching.
Andrew Holecek has completed the traditional three-year Buddhist meditation retreat and offers seminars internationally on meditation, dream yoga, and death. He is the author of The Power and the Pain: Transforming Spiritual Hardship into Joy; Preparing to Die: Practical Advice and Spiritual Wisdom from the Tibetan Buddhist Perspective; Meditation in the iGeneration; How to Meditate in a World of Speed and Stress; the audio learning course Dream Yoga: The Tibetan Path of Awakening Through Lucid Dreaming; and the forthcoming book Dream Yoga: Illuminating Your Life Through Lucid Dreaming and the Tibetan Yogas of Sleep. His work has appeared in Parobla, Shambhala Sun, Tricycle, Utne Reader, and other periodicals. Andrew holds degrees in classical music, physics, and a doctorate in dental surgery. He lives in Lafayette, Colorado.For more on Andrew, visit andrewholecek.com.
