A Welcome Message: 

 

I would love to connect with those of you who are:

  • Navigating your own grief journey as part of your personal and creative empowerment;
  • Looking for support to practice the essential skills of grieving well as a pathway to inner peace;
  • Grieving for humanity and the planet during these very difficult times;
  • Longing to make sense of it all and to understand who you are and why you’re here amidst such confusing times and what your contribution might be to a world in tumult;
  • You may also be supporting and facilitating others through their deep healing journeys.

Join me for these TWO RITE OF PASSAGE SESSIONS and explore:

Session One, on Thursday 12th August 7-9pm BST

How Grieving can be a Transformational Healing Journey   

Session Two on Thursday 19th, 7-9pm

How Sitting with Death can be a Doorway to Renewed Passion and Purpose

Towards the end of our conversation I will answer questions about The Sitting with Death and Choosing Life Transformational Programme and Facilitator Training. 

(If you are keen and these times don’t work for you, please contact me on the form below.)

The practice of transforming grief and loss into healing and new life is vitally important for our time. Facing into your own death and dying opens a pathway to new life-affirming choices. This holds the power not only to renew you as an individual but also to heal and renew our world.

I have never met Rose except on zoom but her life journey, her life experiences, her passion, her inner knowing, and her compassion shine out of her..as she so gently and skilfully holds each one of us as a circle of people as we courageously jump off the deep end and share, discuss and lean into our own histories and relationship with grief, loss and death..the deeper we go the more trust and love there is.

– Annee Bury, is a ember of the Choosing Life Team and has a liftime’s experience of working with death, dying, grief and loss.

These group conversations will:

  • Raise awareness of the importance of facing death, dying, grief and loss as part of a process of individual and community healing, wholeness, resiliency and evolution;
  • Plant the seed that we can only fully choose life – individually and collectively – when we are willing and able to face into our own mortality or “sit with death”;

  • Provide you with the support of an intentional group to bring you out of isolation and into community and co-creation and to accelerate your transformation.

    The  transition from fearing death and dying and avoiding grief, to making the commitment to your own healing and wholing, is a journey we each take within our own heart. Your healing journey will unfold in a way unique to you yet, as we start exploring with each other these vulnerable aspects of being human, we bring into the light of consciousness all aspects of our shared humanity. By connecting with like-hearted companions for deep discovery we co-create a bigger energy field and a more expanded consciousness and we all move forward more easily. This has significant implications for how we go forward individually and collectively; our relationship with Soul, Nature and the Planet; and how we build a new humane culture.

You may be in grief, supporting others through loss, keenly affected by global losses, or you simply want to deepen your understanding of these crucial aspects of being human.

Death and dying, loss and grief are natural parts of being human which have been sadly neglected in our society with tragic results. We all lose people we love through separation or death. We all learn, at one time or another, to cope with and manage changes in our bodies, deteriorating health in ourselves and in our loved ones. We all grow old and infirm and face the approach of our own dying. We all experience failure and disillusionment and lose sight of cherished dreams. We are all, at times, overwhelmed and broken-hearted by devastating changes in our world and loss of faith in our existing power systems. And, for those on a conscious spiritual path and in the process of transformation, losing illusions about the self and throwing off outworn identities is intrinsic to the path, a sign of progress – and very challenging!

The Rite of Passage Sessions offer you:

  • An Introduction to the Inquiry and Practice of Sitting with Death and Choosing Life, and a short e-book to stimulate your inquiry, which I will send you when you sign up;
  • A Safe Intentional Space of no more than 12 participants, for 2×2 hour sessions, where you can explore your own experiences and what has been touched in you by the material in the e-book.  Everyone will have a chance to speak, discover and weave the conversation;
  • A Taste of The Sitting with Death and Choosing Life Programme and a chance to decide if the programme is a good next step for you.

So that you can:

Free Yourself from the Limitations of Unprocessed Grief and

 Shine Your Light Through the Most Daunting Times

 Challenging life experiences – particularly a meeting with death – provide the best opportunities to become more aware of, to move through, and to let go of limiting beliefs, emotional contractions in the body, and behaviour patterns that have caused you repeated suffering. When we face death, the veils between the dimensions of self and world open, and we are drawn beyond the protections we have spun around ourselves, deep into the Soulful world. Because our daily reality is shaken and deconstructed, and we are more than usually vulnerable, the healing work can progress.

The choice for fully lived life appears to be just as risky and courageous as facing death. Much of the time most of us live in a nether region, somewhere between life and death, and yet rarely experiencing either state fully. A confrontation with death can pull back the veils of habit, comfort and consensual reality and leave us raw, naked and vulnerable. Within this hyper-sensitive state lies a precious opportunity to move beyond our personal history into the deepest heart of what it means to be human.

 

The Sitting with Death and Choosing Life Conversations are sparks to light the fire around which you can gather and co-create caring, wise, co-creative, life-centred communities.

I have so much gratitude for all that Sitting with Death and Choosing Life has brought to my life. It is so much more than I had first understood it to be because I hadn’t realised the overwhelming importance of grief and loss and how out of touch we are with that whole, beautiful aspect of our lives. The exploring, the experiences and the conversations have been deep, complex and profoundly life-enhancing whilst the method for unlocking all of that I have found to be beautifully simple. Rose has shown me that all we need to do to ease the gentle opening of tender hearts is to offer a deeply warm welcome in a safe space. The stimulus resources and inquiry questions do the rest.
