death meditation this Friday, May 15th

[Mollie McElroy]

Hello all, 

We will sit for death meditation (Maranasati) tomorrow on Friday, May 15th, 2026 from 5:00 - 6:15pm, and continue on the 1st and 3rd Fridays of the month.

Please, come to my office at 15 State Street in Montpelier, Suite 203 on the second floor. I have pillows and blankets as well as some chairs for your use. Feel free to bring your own meditation cushions or zabutons if you'd like. 

And afterwards, upstairs at The Everything Space, starting at 6:30pm there is a grief group held by the Tending Our Grief hub (flyer attached).  If you feel so inclined, join me in heading upstairs and making a night of it! 

See you soon and please reach out if you have any questions,
Mollie McElroy (she/they)

"Acceptance is liberating. It’s counterintuitive, but the avoidance of our mortality is the very thing that continues to perpetuate our cycle of suffering. Contemplation of death changes this because it forces us to awaken to the present moment. Instead of sleepwalking through parts of our lives, we can become mindful of our mortality, shift our perspective, and our life itself."
