WORKSHOP – Befriending Death: A Gentle Exploration of Our Relationship with Mortality with Monica Brodeur

Start Date: January 31, 2026 @ 02:00 PM
Pricing: $50

An invitation to sit with death and live more fully.

A 2-Hour Guided Workshop with Grace & Soul Wellness

This two-hour workshop offers a compassionate space to explore your personal relationship with death—not to fix it or rush toward acceptance, but simply to notice what is already there. Through guided reflection, meditation, journaling, and shared presence, we will gently turn toward the fears, curiosities, and quiet truths that can arise when we acknowledge our mortality. Rooted in nervous-system awareness, choice, and care, this experience is designed to feel grounding and supportive, leaving you with greater clarity, tenderness, and a deeper connection to the life you are living now.

No prior experience is needed—only a willingness to meet yourself where you are. Please wear comfortable clothes and bring a journal and pen.


What We’ll Explore:

  • Gentle grounding and guided reflection
  • Exploring your current relationship with death and mortality
  • A guided meditation (Tonglen-inspired) to sit with fear, tenderness, and compassion
  • Journaling for integration and insight
  • Optional sharing in a supportive, non-judgmental space
  • Closing practices to return to life feeling resourced and whole

This Workshop Is For:

  • Adults who feel a curiosity about their relationship with death
  • Those interested in contemplative practices like meditation and journaling
  • People who feel emotionally resourced enough to explore tender topics
  • Anyone drawn to personal growth, presence, and deeper meaning

This Workshop May Not Be For:

  • Individuals seeking therapy, crisis support, or trauma processing
