Die Wise – A night of grief, mystery and orphan wisdom for a troubled time is an evening talk with activist, author and Founder of The Orphan Wisdom school, Stephen Jenkinson. This featured series of Die Wise evening talks has been generously grant funded to support the launch of Stephen’s new book, Die Wise – A Manifesto for Sanity and Soul, as well as for helping to introduce his work and teachings to new audiences. Join Stephen for this evening talk where he will share his stories and insights on grief, dying, and the great love of life. Joining him will be Gregory Hoskins on guitar.

Die Wise – A Manifesto for Sanity and Soul, is Stephen Jenkinson new book about grief, and dying, and the great love of life. Die Wise teaches the skills of dying, skills that have to be learned in the course of living deeply and well. Not a seven step coping strategy, not an out-clause for trauma or sorrow, Die Wise is for everyone who, come hell or high water, is not going to pull off eternity after all. Dying is not the end of wisdom and wisdom not exhausted by dying. Dying could be and must be the fullest expression and incarnation of what you’ve learned by living. It’s a moral obligation to die well. If you love somebody, if you care about the world that’s to come after you, if you want somebody to be spared the lunacy of what you’ve seen, you’ve got to die wise. This evening begins to imagine a way of doing so. http://orphanwisdom.com/die-wise/
