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:Childfree By Choice & Grieving
DESCRIPTION:It’s not a given that everyone who is childfree by choice is 100%\, unabashedly content with the decision. While we may be set in our choice\, there can still be grief there. I know there is for me. It’s a both-and/two truths situation. Many of us make this choice for a lot of unfortunate\, depressing\, and/or systemic reasons\, and I created this space where we can be with our truths\, and hurts\, around it all. \nOur monthly peer-led Zoom group is intended to be a space for people who have chosen not to have children. It is not intended to be a child-loss support group or infertility support group\, although if you have prior experience with infertility and/or pregnancy loss and have since decided to not have children (meaning you are now childfree by choice) feel free to join and see if it’s a good fit.

SUMMARY:Return Home: An Inside Look at Terramation
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to meet death with love\, purpose\, and a deep respect for the earth? 💚 Join us on October 20th at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT for a very special webinar to find out! We’re incredibly excited to introduce you to two of the hearts behind Return Home: Katey and Mandy. Together\, they bring decades of experience and a shared passion for transforming deathcare into a healing\, empowering\, and natural process. \nJoin Katey and Mandy as they dive deep into the beautiful\, natural process of terramation. They’ll answer all your questions and share how this choice can be a final\, meaningful act for you and our planet. \nA licensed funeral director from both Washington and England\, Katey found her way to Return Home after a decade in traditional funeral service. For her\, terramation is about stewardship—of the earth and of the families she serves. She builds true\, meaningful relationships over the 60-day process\, guiding families without the pressure of sales. Outside of work\, you can find her gardening with her dog Dixie Barbara or exploring the PNW with her nephews. Her mission? Equal and easy access for everyone in every walk of life to quality\, approachable deathcare and death education. Meanwhile\, with nearly 15 years as a licensed funeral director\, Mandy’s passion for compassionate care naturally grew into a dedication to green death care. Now\, as Return Home’s preneed coordinator\, she helps families plan for an eco-friendly and meaningful end-of-life journey from her family farm in Minnesota. \n📅 Date: October 20th\n⏰ Time: 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET\n💚 Cost: Sliding scale options available!
