Love and Death 2025: Photos at the Threshold (Part 4)
Update: 2025-10-02
Description
In Part 4 of Upaya’s Love and Death program, Frank Ostaseski and Roshi Joan invite participants to “bring death into the room” through a mindfulness practice with photographs of people who stepped through the threshold of life. This practice asks us to directly face mortality and how our bodies, hearts, and minds respond to it—what draws us in and what makes us turn away? Through vivid stories of hospice life, Frank reveals how presence, dignity, and even humor can transform dying into a profoundly human experience. At the heart of the session is the story of Sono, whose death poem teaches surrender, non-attachment, and trust in the journey ahead. Death, Frank reminds us, is not as distant as we think—it is a mirror calling us to live with awareness, compassion, and authenticity now.
