Taphophiles of Central Florida

In India and Tibet, yogis and other spiritual seekers can sometimes be found in the charnel grounds (where corpses are placed above ground for putrefaction) contemplating their dharma (life-path), confronting their fear of death and coming to terms with their mortality and their own eventual and inevitable death. On a philosophical level, death (personified through Kali-Ma) is experienced as the death of the Ego (personified through the Asuras) and reborn in heaven (Enlightenment).

Wherever you may be in your connection to Death, we invite you to join us at Greenwood Cemetery for a quiet, introspective and contemplative yoga practice. Sunday mornings at 9 as available.

May occasionally need to postpone due to weather or personal circumstances on behalf of the organizer, Tabitha.

We will be outside the entire time, so there will be bugs, dew and sometimes heat or other people. We hold this free community offering in the morning hours to avoid all of this as much as possible. Please visit Greenwood Cemetery (Orlando) to view their rules for conduct in the cemetery and remember that it is a sacred space.

What to bring:
*Yoga Mat/Towel/Blanket
*Bug Spray

Recommended:
*Yoga Straps
*Yoga Blocks
*Knee Pads (for sensitive knees)

I'll be heading out of town after yoga on Thanksgiving weekend, so I pushed back just this Meetup. Join me for Krampus Fest later after this Death Cafe on December 8th.

So often does our purpose for living come into question! Death must happen and it will. For what purpose are we led to it? Why must we exist as each of our identities if we must die? How has death, both metaphorically and physically, impacted our lives? How has death helped us to appreciate Life more? Or has it done the opposite?

These questions would spark a different answer from everyone. Join us for open discussion about Death. Let's explore our dynamic of living and dying at our monthly Death Cafes!

Momento Mori, Momento Vivere!
