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:Memento Mori: A Death Meditation and Living Funeral Ritual
DESCRIPTION:Memento mori is a Latin phrase that means “remember you must die.” Death is an inevitable part of life\, but society discourages us from confronting our own mortality. In this two-hour workshop\, join trauma-informed meditation teacher Leah Raidt and death doula Becky Robison to acknowledge—and even welcome—death’s presence in our everyday lives. \nWe’ll explore the individual dimensions of death by creating an altar of our own memento mori. We’ll examine the universal dimensions of death via meditation. And finally\, we’ll hold a living funeral ritual where participants can write their own eulogies and learn about burial shrouding—including what it feels like to be wrapped in a shroud. This exploratory\, experiential workshop is for adults of all ages who wish to become more comfortable with mortality. We especially encourage friends and loved ones to come together. Please bring a notebook\, a pen or pencil\, and a small object from your home or the natural world that reminds you of death. \nRegister on the Earth & Spirit Center website!
