Death meditation this Friday 11/21 & Documentary film screening

[Montpelier Death Meditation]

Hello all,  I hope you are well and taking good care of yourselves in this intense season of change and transition. 

We will meet for death meditation (Maranasati) this Friday November 21st, 2025 from 5:00-6:15pm, and continue on the 1st and 3rd Fridays of each month.  I'm looking forward to seeing you there for our sit. 

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.  Please, feel free to bring your own meditation cushions or zabutons if you'd like. 

And after the death mediation this week, a few of our fellow death meditators, Amelia and Alyssa, have organized a free film screening of Come See Me in the Good Light. This documentary film is about the end of poet and activist Andrea Gibson’s life. The screening will be at Fox Market on Friday November 21st at 7pm.  Fox Market has limited space, so you can register for the event with this google form. 

They are keeping it off social media, but please feel free to share it with anyone you think it might resonate with.

See you soon and please reach out if you have any questions,

“Death is our friend precisely because it brings us into absolute and passionate presence with all that is here, that is natural, that is love… Life always says Yes and No simultaneously. Death (I implore you to believe) is the true Yea-sayer. It stands before eternity and says only: Yes.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke
