Death – the cradle of your love of life Saturday 29th – Sunday 30th November 9.30 am – 3.30 pm Performance by Ailsa Richardson remember 3 5.30 pm Saturday 29th November Stephen Jenkinson – spiritual activist, author, teacher and founder of the Orphan Wisdom School, Ottawa Canada is coming to Wales for the first time in November to teach a two-day workshop in Small World Theatre in conjunction with Holy Hiatus. Stephen worked for thirty years in palliative care, as the leader of a grief counselling team at Toronto’s Mount Sinai Hospital. He has been at the bedside of over 1000 dying people, and teaches that accepting death and transcending our fear of it is the key to embracing our humanity in all its joy and grief. He has made it his lifes mission to change the way we die - to turn the act of dying from denial and resistance into an essential part of life. Critical of death-phobic cultures that believe that the endless pursuit of growth and personal happiness can stave off the political, economic and ecological crises that we face collectively, Stephen has developed a philosophy around deep living and dying well and now teaches all over the world in his charismatic and inspiring bardic style. This workshop will explore our understanding of grief and address the complex relationships we have with those who have died before us. Tickets cost £160 per weekend including lunches, concessions for those on low incomes are available on request. Online booking and further information is available at holyhiatus.co.uk or email Ruth Jones holyhiatuswales@gmail In addition a screening of the film Griefwalker with a Q & A with Stephen will take place on Friday 28th November 6-8 pm at Theatr Mwldan. Tickets cost £10.50 / £9.50 For more information about Stephen Jenkinson go to orphanwisdom
