About this event

Spirituality • Buddhism

Join us at Alternity Cafe for a unique and transformative session on Manasarati, the Buddhist practice of "mindfulness of death." Together, we’ll explore the certainty of impermanence as a powerful path to cultivating awareness, reducing anxiety, and deepening our appreciation for the preciousness of life.

Our session will feature:

  • Guided Meditations: Two sessions—a visualization exploring mortality and a guided life reflection.
  • Journaling & Self-Reflection after each practice.
  • Optional Group Discussion for insight and connection in a supportive space.
  • We'll provide a cushion, pen, and journaling prompts.

Facilitators:

  • Monica Lau, Registered Psychotherapist, Certified End-of-Life Doula
  • Kinu Yamaguchi, End-of-Life Doula certificate candidate

What to bring (optional but encouraged): Your own notepad/journal, yoga mat or blanket, water bottle, and comfortable clothes.

Arrival Note: Please arrive promptly. Doors open 10 minutes before event start time. Due to the nature of the practice, latecomers cannot be admitted once the meditation begins.

Parking: There is free parking on side streets before 1pm on Sundays.

Refund Policy: 100% refund for cancellations received 24 hours prior to the event
