The course “Longevidad, muerte y renacimiento” offers a serene and reflective journey through one of the deepest questions of human existence: the cycle of life and death. We will explore the limits of human longevity, the causes and natural meaning of death from scientific and philosophical perspectives. We will also learn about the teachings of different religions on the afterlife and what science has been able to investigate through Near-Death Experiences (NDE). We will address ideas of final judgment, paradise and hell, as well as various conceptions of the continuity of existence: resurrection, reincarnation, transmigration or samsara. Finally, we will reflect on the philosophical, spiritual, and human tools that can help us face the end of life consciously, peacefully, and with dignity.

The church of Santa Brígida will, on July 15 at 19:30, become the stage for a singular journey into the music of the Hispanic Baroque with the concert “Si el aire suspira. Música del Archivo de la Catedral de Santa Ana,” a proposal by Capilla de Santa Anna focused on recovering and interpreting the musical legacy of Diego Durón Ortega (1653-1731), one of the most relevant composers in Canarian history.
