Please join us as we explore the journey of growing older from a Buddhist perspective. This fall, we will read the book “The Five Invitations: Discovering What Death Can Teach Us About Living Fully,” by renowned Zen Buddhist teacher and cofounder of the Zen Hospice Project Frank Ostaseski.

Frank Ostaseski has sat on the precipice of death with more than 1000 people. The Five Invitations that we will explore are: 1) Don't Wait, 2) Welcome Everything, Push Away Nothing, 3) Bring Your Whole Self to the Experience, 4) Find a Place to Rest in the Middle of Things, and 5) Cultivate Don't Know Mind.

Join us as we learn to wake up fully to our lives, cope with loss, and recognize our precious human life. Learn to cultivate an awareness of death and dying and the wisdom that death can teach us about living and appreciating our lives.
