Format: Due to the Coronavirus pandemic we can currently only offer our group retreats via Zoom. This will continue until we are able to host them onsite once again. When this happens we hope to live stream the onsite retreats online so those who can’t make it to the centre can still join the retreat via Zoom. Therefore, please share how you would prefer to attend the retreat when you complete your booking form so we know how many people to expect on onsite if this becomes possible.
Start and Finish times: The course will be offered via Zoom with the first session starting 3:00pm – 4.30pm (GMT) and the second session starting 5:30pm – 7:00pm (GMT) every day.
About the Retreat
“Helping our loved ones at the time of death is the best service we can offer them, our greatest gift. Why? Because death is the most important time of life: it’s at death that the next rebirth is determined.”—Lama Zopa Rinpoche
For years Lama Zopa Rinpoche envisioned a practical book to inform students of how to help loved ones have a beneficial death. How to Face Death without Fear has been compiled from years of Rinpoche’s teachings and has been lovingly edited by Venerable Robina Courtin.
During this course Ven Robina will offer teachings based on the content of this book which provides detailed advice on how to help your loved ones prepare for the end of their life with courage, acceptance, and a mind free of fear. This is information we all need but is especially useful for caregivers, health care professionals, chaplains and social workers.
We hope you will find reassurance in this wealth of advice offered by Lama Zopa Rinpoche and shared by Ven Robina, and will also gain the confidence to ensure that your loved one’s death—and your own—will be joyful and meaningful.
