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:Why California Needs a Conservation Cemetery
DESCRIPTION:🌿 Our Bodies Are Designed to Return to the Earth 🌿\nJoin our Zoom to learn what a Conservation Cemetery is… permanently protected natural land where burials restore habitat. We’ll take a deep dive into how a conservation cemetery differs from modern burial practices\, and how it compares to green burial. \nHere in California\, we’re a community that thrives outdoors! From beaches to deserts to mountains\, yet when it comes to our final rest\, our options are far removed from the natural rhythms that reflect our lifestyle. Modern burial practices – concrete vaults\, metal caskets\, and toxic embalming chemicals – lock our bodies away from the very process we were designed for: to decompose naturally and nourish the earth. Instead of restoring the land\, these practices harm it. \nIt doesn’t have to be this way.\nA Conservation Cemetery is more than green burial. It’s a way of restoring land\, protecting wildlife\, and ensuring our final act on earth is one of renewal\, not depletion.\nJoin us for this community gathering to: \nLearn how conservation cemeteries differ from standard and green cemeteries.\nExplore how our end-of-life choices can heal the planet.\nBe part of the growing movement urging California lawmakers to cut the red tape and make these options available here at home.\nLet’s be honest… there isn’t a lot of transparency within our current funeral industry\, we want to change that! Join us for real conversation about our common burial practices and gain an understanding about how harmful they are not only to our bodies\, but to the planet – and learn about greener options that may impact your end-of-life decision making. \nQuestions? hello@dodeathdifferent.com\nInstagram @thedeathnetwork\nWebsite www.TheDeathNetwork.com \nWe can’t wait to see you!
