The Oxford 1-hour Seminars : Death, Grief and Healing

This short course consists of several layers:

Layer One

The Oxford Seminars : these lectures cover the same material as lectured on in the Oxford seminars in September 2025. Total length : approx. 1 hour

Layer Two

In between and after the seminars the group took part in various exercises based on the seminar material and discussions. These exercises are included but set against a backdrop of beautiful Oxford countryside. Approx time to complete ; 2 hours

Layer Three

In addition to the seminars and exercises and discussions, students were given Case Studies. These were set to be done in the evening discussion groups. These are included here as part of the course. Estimated time for completion : 4 hours

If you do the entire course : Lectures + Exercises + Case Studies then the total time is about 7 hours.

If you then post your answers/responses in the Q/A and discuss with other students then total time could well double.
