Saturday Contemplation #1

CONTEMPLATION #1

Saturday Contemplations are a new weekly practice from When We Die Talks—short guided reflections designed to help you pause, slow down, and face what we often avoid: our own mortality. In this first contemplation, we explore the reality that our lifespan is ever-decreasing and that each breath brings us closer to death. While it can feel heavy to sit with this truth, it’s also what makes each moment so valuable. Through breath awareness and reflection, this practice reframes impermanence not as loss, but as the very reason life feels precious.

If you’d like to go deeper, the first contemplation of each month will always be free — but the rest are exclusive to WWDT+ members. Joining gives you access to every weekly contemplation, early access to new podcast episodes, and helps sustain the project so these reflections can continue.
