Event Description:
Speaker: Alan Fox, Ph.D., Professor, Asian and Comparative Philosophy and Religion, University of Delaware- Denying the existence of a permanent self, Buddhism presents a unique perspective on death and dying. We will introduce that perspective, emphasizing the Tibetan Buddhist model of death and rebirth.
Honoring Choices® Delaware has teamed up with the University of Delaware Blue Hen Leadership Program to host several workshops in partnership with the worldwide virtual event week, Reimagine. The weeklong event has taken a virtual shape this year and with the pandemic over the past year are ever more important to help our community “explore death and celebrate life.”
This week long event encompasses National Healthcare Decisions Day on Friday, April 16th. In this life, there are only two constant things, Tax Day (April 15th) and death. There is much planning and preparing of documents that goes into Tax Day and why not the same for our death?
Reimagine is an opportunity for our community to view death in a new light and have the opportunity to understand their healthcare options. Many of the events are free conversations and interactive workshops, discussions ranging on various topics from relaxation, resilience, mind and body balance, starting the end-of-life conversation, and more.
