How Not to Die

For many of us, the thought of death stirs fear and uncertainty. We push it aside, unsure how to meet it. But gently turning toward our impermanence can open the door to peace—not just at the end, but in the life we’re living now.

How Not to Die is a new online course from Lion’s Roar that offers profound and practical guidance for facing death with clarity, compassion, and wisdom—and in doing so, living more fully now.

Spiritual Insight with Trudy Goodman

Beloved meditation teacher and psychotherapist Trudy Goodman shares Buddhist teachings and guided practices on impermanence, presence, and letting go—wisdom rooted in her own near-death experience.

Practical Guidance with Dawn Carson

Death Doula Dawn Carson offers Exit Planning tools for preparing for life’s final transition, including clarifying your values, communicating your wishes, and easing the burden on loved ones.

This course is a rare integration of contemplative reflection and end-of-life planning.

As a student, you’ll:

  • Gain peace and clarity around death and dying
  • Release fear, attachment, and unresolved emotions
  • Heal relationships and cultivate connection
  • Live with more purpose, love, and awareness
  • Prepare for the end of life with confidence and care

Learn how not to die in fear, regret, or disconnection—and how to meet the moment with grace.
