A Year to Live

with Mary Stancavage

A Year Long Practice

May 31, 2026 – May 30, 2027

Are you ready to die? What if you only had one year to live the rest of your life? This year-long group, based on the book by Stephen Levine, is a spiritual practice of facing death and waking up to the life we are living. Each participant will live the next year as though it were their last. Meeting monthly, we will look back at our lives exploring fears, regrets, joys and hopes. We will look forward to examine our relationship to death and dying. Can we do what needs to be done and die with nothing left unsaid? Ultimately, this is a year-long practice in forgiveness, gratitude and letting go.

We will use the book A Year to Live as a guide and utilize other readings, meditations, one-on-one teacher meetings, monthly check-ins, optional drop-in groups, suggested field trips, practices and resources to support your journey. Although this is a group practice, it is also very personal and powerful. This group is open to anyone who is interested in this process, but it is a serious undertaking. If you have any questions about the practice or if it’s right for you, please get in touch.

This will be the 14th Year to Live group I have facilitated and I am looking forward to taking this transformational journey with you.

We will meet monthly via Zoom on Sunday afternoons at 12:00pm PT and each session will run 2 to 3 hours.
