Journeys of Reflection: Life, Death, and Meaning「吾生﹒悟死」生死探索之旅

[This is an experience in the Gear Up Training Series (GUTS)]

Organised by St. James’ Settlement and the Ark Life Education House, this experiential programme will guide participants in exploring the meanings of life and death through visits to funeral parlours, undertakers, and crematoriums. Then, participants will immerse themselves in simulations to experience the emotions they might feel when facing death, offering a safe space for reflection and helping them gain a deeper understanding of life, death, and the values they hold.

由聖雅各福群會及方舟生命教育館合辦的「吾生．悟死」生死探索之旅，參加者可從多角度體驗與思考生命與死亡。行程包括參觀殯儀館、殮葬商及火葬場，深入了解生命最後一程的流程與背後的專業工作。活動亦設有體驗式學習，讓參加者在引導下感受面對死亡時可能出現的情緒與反思，從而更全面地理解生命的價值和意義。誠邀你踏上這段具啟發性的人生旅程，重新看見生命的深度。
