Session
FRIDAY, MAY 2 | 8:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. (with 1/2 hour break)
Keynote: Daoist Death Medicine pt.1 and pt.2
The modern death care landscape is undergoing significant transformation, and Chinese medicine is uniquely poised to offer valuable support in this shift. This four-hour class will delve into the cultural attitudes and fears surrounding death, which influence contemporary medical approaches to dying. We will explore connections between life cycles-incarnation, gestation, and death-and discover how Daoist principles and Chinese medical practices can guide a peaceful transition at the end of life.
