DDSP - Care of the Body

Online / Hands-on Option.
February 16, 2027 (single, 3-hour session)
5:30 PM to 8:30 PM (Pacific Time) + Optional Weekend Hands-on Session

Washing and dressing the body of someone you love is an act of profound care. It is also a skill — and like most skills, it is easier when you have been taught.

This session offers hands-on guidance (for those who can attend in person) and clear Zoom instruction for those at a distance. We will cover:

• Working with rigor mortis — timing, technique, and what to expect
• Washing and dressing the body with dignity and care
• Managing other natural changes in the body after death
• Temporary preservation methods for home vigil
• Preparing the body for viewing or further transition

The in-person option for hands-on training will be announced based on location and participant need. Lama Lekshe will provide guidance on what materials to have on hand for those participating from home.
