Return
A seven-day contemplation of death and dying, incorporating wisdom tradition readings, conversation and spiritual practice.
This course is open to anyone who is interested in preparing their self consciously, in willing agreement and gratitude, for this ultimate transition, as well as those offering end-of-life care to a family member, a friend or perhaps a neighbour living alone.
Indeed, it is for anyone, of any age or life circumstance, who wishes to contemplate the reality of dying, and of making this spiritual transition within their own lifetime.
‘I do not understand the mystery of grace – only that it meets us
where we are and does not leave us where it found us.’
– Anne Lamott
The course begins with supper at 7pm on Sunday 13 December and ends after lunch on Sunday 20 December.

We take great pleasure in presenting the latest iteration following two very successful previous versions. The course comprises fortnightly Zoom sessions, videos by experienced presenters and various tasks and practices. It opens with a residential weekend at Sutton Courtenay Abbey in Oxfordshire UK, which can also be attended online. There is an optional residential weekend or 10 days at Chisholme House, Scotland, at the end of the course from the 1st April.
The course provides a full introduction to the principles of Beshara in terms of both knowledge and practice. Taking the metaphysics of Muhyiddin Ibn ‘Arabi as a starting point, the course explores what it means to understand oneself and the world in the light of the Unity of Existence.
