Death meditation this Friday, May 1st!

[Montpelier Death Meditation]

Hello! After a brief hiatus in April, death meditation in Montpelier is back in May starting this Friday, May 1st and on the 3rd Friday, May 15th. All are welcome 🙏🏻 

We will sit for death meditation (Maranasati) this week on Friday May 1st, 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. 4

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

"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."

- Chris Pacheco, The Life-Changing Practice of Death Awareness
