Education

When integrated with Thanatology--the study, research, and practice of end-of-life education and care--contemplative pedagogy offers a profound and reflective approach to learning about death and dying. This educational method emphasizes mindfulness, deep listening, and self-reflection, encouraging participants to explore their own attitudes, values, beliefs, and emotions surrounding mortality. Through practices such as meditation, journaling, art-making, body practices, and contemplative dialogue, Dr. Belton's practice with contemplative pedagogy facilitates a greater understanding of the emotional, spiritual, and ethical dimensions of end-of-life issues. This approach not only enhances empathy and compassion but can also support individuals with facing their own mortality and support others in their final stages of life with greater sensitivity and insight. By fostering an environment of introspection and open discussion, contemplative pedagogy in end-of-life education supports cultivating a holistic awareness that can transform how we perceive and approach the inevitable reality of death.
