A Year to Live – A Journey Toward Freedom, Hope & Spiritual Awakening
What if you had just one year to live?
A Year to Live is a powerful and transformative year-long program that offers sacred space for inner renewal, life review, and spiritual awakening. Whether you’re navigating grief, a life transition, or simply feeling called to live with more clarity and depth, this immersive journey invites you to consciously face your mortality and live with greater freedom, presence, and purpose.
Guided by facilitators John F. Doherty and Martina Breen, and drawing on ancient wisdom traditions and modern contemplative practices, this program supports you to let go of what no longer serves and awaken to what truly matters. Through reflection, meditation, teachings, and community, you will explore your relationship with impermanence and discover the liberating gift of living as if each day truly counts.
