Through this experiential journey, participants will explore and reflect upon the meaning of life and death. First, they will visit places related to death, such as funeral parlors, undertakers, and crematoriums, to learn how the deceased's relatives and friends handle burial matters and the processes they experience. Then, participants will immerse themselves in simulations to experience the emotions they might feel when facing death.

透過「吾生．悟死」生死探索之旅，參加者將深入思考生命與死亡的意義。活動首先安排參觀與死亡相關的場所，如殯儀館、殮葬商及火葬場，了解人在離世後，親友或朋友如何處理殮葬事宜及所需經歷的過程。其後，參加者會透過體驗式學習，親身感受死亡可能引發的情緒，從而對生命與死亡有更深刻的理解。
