Sacrality Practice: Through Dying, We Learn to Live

Dying, a universal experience is a topic we often avoid. However, it holds profound lessons for our personal growth and understanding of life. In the video below, Carla Fernandez, co-founder of The Dinner Party, shares her insights on the importance of embracing this topic and the invaluable lessons it can offer us.

We’ve all known loss in some form or another. It could be the death of someone close or other losses in our lives, like a pet, a job, a relationship, an heirloom, or a home. hat lessons have death or loss taught you? How do or might those lessons inform how you live? How might you live into those lessons this month and beyond?

Update: Since this was published, Carla shared the video above on Instagram with a note about her time at Fetzer.

Bringing me back to a magical week in the woods of @fetzerinstitute with the greats @luvalovelight, @koshinpaleyellison, @letsreimagine, and other heroes digging into what cultural levers need pulling to change how we relate to death and grief. 'Takes me back! Thank you, Fetzer Institute.

Carla, we are grateful for the Dinner Tables you have set—with love—to facilitate our understanding and acceptance of grief. Your contributions have been invaluable.
