Alchemy of Loss: Exploring Living and Dying: October 22-24, 2009

The Tapestry Initiative in association with Golden Sun Foundation for World Culture is presenting: Alchemy of Loss: Exploring Living and Dying,  a unique seminar in Boulder, Colorado this upcoming October. It is being hosted by Boulder Integral.

Due to the economically trying times the registration fee has been reduced to $395.

The Tapestry Initiative provides education and experiential learning forums for exploring the challenges of death, dying and loss transforming them into opportunities for growth and fully engaging our lives. Through inquiry, meditation, shared experiences and drawing from the wisdom traditions, we can respond to our collective need to build a new, co-creative relationship with the natural cycles of change.

Seminar participants will have the opportunity to explore together the ways that facing into our personal and cultural fears of loss, dying, and death and the challenge of caring for those that we love, can cultivate compassion and empower us in greater appreciation for life, each other and the world we share.
