SUMMARY:Radical Mindfulness: Why Transforming Fear of Death is Politically Vital book club
DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in how the existential fear of death shapes society? Do you wonder how we can address injustice? Join our weekly online reading group\, Radical Mindfulness\, to explore how mindfulness can serve as a powerful tool for political transformation. Together\, we’ll build a supportive community of care and reflection. Whether you’re seeking connection\, inspiration\, or fresh perspectives\, this space offers an opportunity to learn and grow in solidarity. We meet via Zoom on Sundays. Recordings will be shared after each gathering. \n-Sundays 6:30 to 8pm ET beginning September 14th\n-Free to attend\n-Free PDF of the book from author\, James Rowe\n-Physical copy offered with a 30% discount from Routledge \nThis weekly reading and discussion of Radical Mindfulness will explore the causes of injustice and how to achieve social transformation. Drawing from scholarly literature\, the author suggests the existential fear of death is at the root of oppression\, and that meditation and ritual can be pathways to structural change. \nThis will be different from most book clubs. There is no homework; each week we pick up where we left off and read together. We will pause for questions\, reflections\, clarifications\, as ways to engage the material. We look forward to creating a community of both practice and curiosity. (We estimate 6 months of reading together!)

SUMMARY:Author Conversation: Too Poor to Die
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Tuesday\, Sep 30th\, 2025 at 4:00pm PDT for a conversation between author\, Amy Shea and death doula and educator\, Lauren Seeley to discuss of Amy’s new book\, Too Poor to Die: The Hidden Realities of Dying in the Margins. \nToo Poor to Die bears witness to the disparities in death and dying faced by some of society’s most vulnerable and marginalized and asks the reader to consider their own end-of-life and disposition plans within the larger context of how privilege and access plays a role in what we want versus what we get in death.

SUMMARY:NHFA September 2025 Webinar: Creating Meaningful Rituals for Families After Cremation
DESCRIPTION:Join us on September 30th at 8 pm ET for an informative webinar that explores how end-of-life professionals can guide families in creating meaningful post-cremation rituals that honor both memory and place. We’ll discuss cultural and historical approaches to scattering\, practical considerations for helping families choose the right setting\, and creative ways to weave ritual into everyday landscapes. \nAs a case study\, we’ll look at Farmstead Scattering Garden—a fourth-generation working farm that has become a sacred space for scattering cremains by mail. Amy Bridger co-founded Farmstead Scattering Garden with her husband\, John\, on his family’s fourth-generation working cattle farm in northwestern Pennsylvania\, where they live with their two teenage children. \nParticipants will leave with practical tools\, inspiring examples\, and resources to help families move beyond cremation toward meaningful acts of remembrance.

SUMMARY:A Living Funeral Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:A community offering at the close of eclipse season. Join us for a Living Funeral Ceremony: a ritual space to release what no longer serves and step into what’s next. \nA Living Funeral Ceremony is an immersive meditative experience that encourages participants to face their own mortality. Through engaging in ritual and guidance through a death visualization–contemplating your own memorial as you imagine letting go of your earthly self–participants are invited to “die before you die\, to live while you’re alive.”
