S02 E06 🎂 DCTT 2nd Anniversary: Mindful Breathing by Alyssa Rostant

Celebrating our second anniversary of Death Café TT with a Mindful Breathing Exercise by Alyssa Rostant. Alyssa is a dear friend and supporter, and we're so grateful for this beautifully recorded gift that she gave to us. We played it at the end of our anniversary death café session, and since those are not recorded, we decided to share this breathing exercise for those who couldn't make it to the live session. Thank you for continuing to be part of this thriving community and we hope that you come back to this exercise any time you need it. Alyssa also has a YouTube channel called Mindset Breath with a playlist of exercises. https://www.youtube.com/@mindsetbreath

S02 E03 Back To The Future with Tracy Assing

Indigenous people believe that time is cyclical.We are a continuation of what has gone before and our experience carries the seeds for the future.Like the ripe fruit that falls to the forest floor to decay.Once bud.Once flower.Once fruit.Decay is an element of soil...life springs from decay.So is it any wonder then that we are energised when we come in contact with it? We may feel like we are afraid of it, but death has been giving us life.
