Frank Ostaseski & Rachel Naomi Remen: The Encounter with Mystery in Medicine and the Time of Dying (2021)

Summary: We don’t have adequate language to describe the incomprehensible presence we meet in deep spiritual practice or the time of dying. We choose to name it Mystery with a capital M. The word Mystery points to depth, to liberation, a kind of beauty and truth that can’t be fully defined. Yet, Mystery is not something we cannot know. Mystery is endlessly discovered. Embracing Mystery may not be about taking action. It’s more about opening. It’s more about awe and wonder. It involves a willingness to “Not Know.” This is not a stance of ignorance but a quality of attention. It is the capacity to bear witness to that which cannot be solved but can be lived into.<br> This program is an opportunity to explore our relationship to Mystery, and to discover what encourages or limits our encounter with the vast unknown. The online program will include a guided meditation, opportunities to interact with the teachers, and other participants.<br> Program Instructor(s): Frank Ostaseski; Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D.<br> To access the <a href="https://www.upaya.org/resources/encounter-with-mystery/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">resources page for this program, please sign up by clicking here</a>.<br>
