Webinar given by Maneesha James of OSHO Sammasati on 6 May, 2015 Following the format of a mini-workshop, it’s a chance to look together at the ‘journey’ that dying is – at why we might want to prepare for it and the part meditation can play. Maneesha also introduces you to some related meditative techniques – appropriate for yourself in everyday life as in your dying, and in supporting someone who is dying. See our website www.oshosammasati.org for more information and details of our upcoming workshops starting with The Tantra of Living & Dying on 4-7 June, in Dorset, UK
