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:Ars Moriendi - The Art of Dying
DESCRIPTION:Ars Moriendi is a collaboration by advocates for the dead: Mary Sweeney and Jen Den. \nThis event will be held inside the chapel at Chicago’s Graceland Cemetery and Arboretum. We will engage in thought-provoking discussions to connect with like-minded individuals who embrace the concept of death positivity. With Ars Moriendi we aim to break the taboo surrounding death and learn to appreciate the cycle of life in all its complexities\, while taking an informative approach to alternative end-of-life options and how you might reconsider your demise. \nWhether you’re curious about end-of-life planning\, interested in alternative funeral practices\, or simply want to deepen your understanding of mortality\, Ars Moriendi is the place to be. Join us for a day of reflection\, education\, and community.
