4 Hour Class: Birth and Death: Explore the Underbelly of Existence
A Special Class with Erin Merelli & Brooke Prudhomme
May 4, 2025 - 11 Am to 4pm (MT)
Birth and death are two sides of the same sacred threshold—each a passage, each a transformation. In this one-day immersive class, we explore the striking parallels between entering and leaving this world, weaving together biology, spirituality, and the wisdom of life’s great cycles.
🔸 Pregnancy & Legacy – The ways we prepare for birth mirror how we prepare for death.
🔸 Labor & Vigil – The intensity of birth’s final hours is reflected in the sacred transition of dying.
🔸 First Breath, Last Breath – The inhale of arrival, the exhale of departure.
🔸 Incarnation & Afterlife – From infancy to eternity, exploring what comes next.
🔸 Individuality & Oneness – The journey into selfhood and back again.
This class closes with a guided Corpse Pose Meditation, inviting you to embody these lessons before returning to life renewed.
