What does it mean to live a life full of meaning, connection, joy and peace? How can we approach life's inevitable challenges—grief, fear, change, illness, death and dying—with courage and compassion?

This course has been inspiring people for 9 years, and the feedback has been consistently uplifting. This year, Chani and Wendy are bringing all the foundations of the course, with a refreshed approach as we lean into 2025. We want to invite new friends to join us and old friends to return as we explore what is most important for each of us in our one precious life.

In this seven-session program, we'll explore questions about living and dying, weaving together mindfulness practices, self-regulation tools, deep listening and the art of empathy to deepen our understanding of what makes life precious.

Through engaging discussions, sharing real life stories and reflective exercises, we'll delve into:

✨ Living with openness: How do we nurture life-affirming ways of being? What are our support networks?
✨ Creating community: How can we find belonging during times of challenge?
✨ The wisdom of getting older: How do we embrace different life stages?
✨ The interplay of grief and aliveness: How do we live with, and honour, both mourning and celebration
✨ Practical tools for self-regulation: What resources are available to us? Where do we source solace and inspiration?
✨ Finding peace in uncertainty: What does it mean to let go and accept life as it is? How do we live when indignity arises?
✨ Purpose and energy: What is mine to do in this life?

This program invites reflection on life, relationships, and legacy in an atmosphere of compassion and support. Together, we will find ways to celebrate the beauty of this precious life, in all its imperfections and complexity.

You will not find prescribed answers; rather, you will enter the space for exploration. Through the power of open-ended questions, storytelling, listening, sharing, people find that they clarify their feelings, thoughts, worldview, and the meaning they derive from their circumstances.
