Sunday March 17 at 11:00 am - 12:00 pm EDT
Start time where you are: Your time zone couldn't be detected
Entrepreneur, death doula, and adventure-seeker. Driven by her curiosities and inquisitive nature, Maura McInerney-Rowley founded Death Archetypes, Hello, Mortal, and Mauri (an end-of-life consultancy) to transform the denial of death into a celebration of life. Are you ready to embrace the reality of your mortality? Honoring our shared mortality can bring us together and awaken us to the lives we’re truly meant to be living.
Welcome to Death Over Coffee: Sunday Morning Contemplations—a new series meeting every other Sunday.
Join us for a morning of deep introspection and meaningful dialogue where we discuss the first edition of the Hello, Mortal newsletter, “Let Death Teach You How to Live,” and explore how embracing death can teach us how to live a fuller life right now.
In this salon, drawing from personal experiences and wisdom shared in the newsletter, we’ll delve into the existential questions surrounding death and its impact on our perceptions of life, relationships, and personal growth.
Through intimate conversations and reflective discussions, we’ll navigate topics such as the psychological benefits of contemplating mortality, the cultural taboos surrounding death, and practical ways to incorporate death awareness into our daily lives. By confronting our mortality head-on, we can uncover the hidden “death benefits” that enrich our lives and guide us toward a more authentic and fulfilling existence.
Topics for discussion may include:
- How does confronting mortality influence our perspectives on life and living?
- What are the psychological benefits of contemplating mortality, and how can it enhance our emotional well-being?
- How do cultural taboos and societal norms shape our relationship with death, and how can we challenge them?
- What practical steps can we take to incorporate death awareness into our daily lives?
- How can embracing mortality deepen our relationships and guide us toward a more authentic existence?
Come prepared to engage in thought-provoking conversations and gain new insights into the profound relationship between life and death.
