Past the autumn equinox, the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting darker. The bears start to prepare for their hibernation, a temporary death.
The 'Dying Bear Meditation' reflects on this seasonal process and invites you to take a break from daily life, to have attention for what is ending, where we need rest, and what things come up in the darkness.
We aim to evoke a collective trance experience and become a bear together by working with a mantra.
Before we go into hibernation, a seasonal snack will be offered.
At the end, we digest the experience with a warm tea.
The 'Dying Bear Meditation' is organized and guided by Marius Popa & Bart Van Dijck and is part of the research class 'The Bear and the Smooth Snake' (Articulate 2023).
