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:Mortem: Death School for Artists
DESCRIPTION:Mortem is a 10 day online death school for artists with the Biophilium to pursue our curiosity of death and to explore and develop our identities as a death-curious artists. The virtual residency will involve daily live video lectures with international death care and funeral industry workers\, historians\, biologists and artists on a range of death related topics and several short one on one meetings with artists who make art about death around the world. Built in to the 2- 2.5 hours of daily programming are discussions\, recommended assignments and show and tell. The program is designed to give insight into death knowledge and ritual from a wide range of perspectives. \nBiophilium death residencies facilitate talk about death. It is not grief therapy and won’t ask you to dwell on pain from your past\, although it will be an opportunity to share past experiences in a death positive context and most likely will be therapeutic. It will help you identify as an artist who works with themes of death and give you tools to talk about your work and to get involved with non-art professionals who also work with death. \nFind more details on our website.

Amy Shea will offer a brief visual presentation featuring memorials and headstones crafted by families in county cemeteries and potter’s fields\, highlighting the personal and cultural significance of these acts of remembrance. The gathering will continue with a hands-on altar-making workshop led by Lauren Seeley. Together\, we’ll consider how the rituals of memory and grieving can offer solace for loved ones and reclaim dignity and connection for all who have gone before us. We’ll end with some conversation and book signing! \nBooks will be sold by Kew & Willow books!
