The Wisdom of Impermanence with Tammy Rivenbark

Presented by End of Life Doula and Spiritual Director, Tammy Rivenbark with the Mindful Mortality Project

Most of us move through life assuming there will always be more time - to heal old wounds, pursue what matters, express our love, and become the people we long to be. Yet the truth is that our time is finite, and this reality has the power to awaken us to what matters most. In this workshop participants will explore the wisdom found in the words of Psalm 90:12: “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Using a contemplative lens and experiential practices, participants will be invited to consider mortality not as something to fear or avoid, but as a profound teacher - one that can deepen gratitude, clarify values, strengthen relationships, and inspire a more intentional way of living. We will be exploring personal attitudes toward mortality and impermanence, reflecting on how the certainty of death shapes the choices we make and considering the realities of aging, suffering, and letting go.

Participants will leave with practical tools and reflective practices to help them live with greater awareness, authenticity, and appreciation for the preciousness of life. Supplies and light snacks provided.
