If today was the last day of your life…
what would you think about and what would you do?
As you face death, you must let go of the things that are important to you one by one. What would be the thing left in your hands at that final moment?
The “Tabidachi” workshop is an experience of what is called a mock funeral.
You will be told that you have a limited time to live and go through the process of letting go of all that is precious to you. During the mock funeral, you will experience your final moments and you will also “look after” and “mourn” another person.
When you become aware of death, it becomes easier to rediscover what is important to you in the course of your life up to that point.
The aim of this workshop is to give you the opportunity to look back on your life up to that point and find a compass to guide you in the future.
It doesn’t matter who takes the course (although advance consultation is required for high school students and young persons).
Whether you’re a busy business owner or office worker, or you’ve retired from the workforce, or you’re busy raising children…
There are no conditions regarding occupation or title.
In life, not everything goes as you wish.
There are times when you may feel frustrated, or when you may be overcome by the absurdity of things, or when you may be in the depths of sadness at the loss of someone you love, or when you may be seeking peace of mind.
If you can feel what is important to you through the workshop, it will become a source of strength to live more strongly, and you will also become kinder to others. You will be able to share this with the friends you have made at the workshop, and it will also become a support for you to live your life again.
Why not experience “Tabidachi” together and make this precious moment of your life a fruitful one?
