“TO DIE BEFORE WE DIE”: DEATH AND THE DEEP IMAGINATION - PART 1
Death comes in many guises—an ending, a silence, a release, a return. It walks beside us in shadow and dream, in grief and in sudden joy. Across the worlds of myth, depth psychology, and contemplative wisdom, death is not simply a fact—it is a presence, a power, a sacred threshold. In this two-part offering, we will enter into dialogue with death—not to solve its mystery, but to bow to it, speak with it, and let it change us. Drawing from Jungian thought, Buddhist philosophy, and ancient myth, we will explore death as both a personal experience and a collective archetype. Together we will ask: What must die so that something true may live? This series is for those who feel death stirring in their dreams, their losses, their questions. Therapists, artists, wanderers, and witnesses are welcome.
Katharine Bainbridge, M.F.T., S.E.P., is a Jungian analyst and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner in private practice in Encino. Her unique holistic psychotherapy practice is partly informed by her 30 years as a practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism. Katharine writes, lectures, and holds workshops nationally on trauma, grief, and the collective wounds of the feminine.
