Loving, Dying, and Letting Go
What does it mean to love?
What does it mean to die?
And how can we let go?
These three questions form the basis of the 3-hour Loving, Dying, and Letting Go workshop taught by certified Institute teachers.
In this workshop, participants are asked to engage in deep personal reflection on three key themes/ areas of inquiry. These themes are: What does it means to love? What does it mean to die, and What does it mean to let go? Participants are encouraged to work with the energy of fear, transform the energies of hurt, and move forward in loving, dying, and letting go with great courage.
It is suggested that all participants read Amy Wright Glenn’s Holding Space so they can more deeply apply the questions outlined above to their own life journeys ~ however, the reading is optional. To receive a certificate of completion, participants must successfully complete the 3-hour workshop.
Three Key Themes
What does it mean to love? How is attachment formed? What are the various types of love known in human experience? How do you love? Who do you love?
What does it mean to die? How do various world traditions approach the topic of dying? When have you known death? What are your hopes and fears?
What does it mean to let go? What does it mean to hold space for loss? How do you work with the energies of fear? How can we embody healthy attachment and reconciliation to loss? What do we hold on to as we let go?

“I am a doula. I am also a hospital chaplain. In holding space for birthing and dying, I’ve come to see one thing clearly. Standing with an open heart in the presence of birth is very much like standing with an open heart in the presence of death.”
