What happens after we die? This question has stirred the imagination of every culture and faith throughout history. In this session, we will explore how the major world religions understand death and the possibilities—of afterlife, transformation, or mystery—that follow. Together, we will look at how these beliefs have developed and changed over time, reminding us that our understanding of death is never static. This will not be a one-way talk, but a shared conversation: participants will be invited to reflect on and discuss their own experiences and perspectives as we consider what these teachings might mean for our own lives.
