Western to Eastern: International Practices

In a world where we seem to be growing apart, this is the one thing that links us all to our common humanity, to the journey of compassion and love for life, for living, for having lived and-by extension-to one another. Much as we lead individual lives, the manner in which we individualize our dying is just as intriguing, real and so very human.

We begin with a light lunch and reception, followed by a slide presentation and discussion of the incredibly beautiful and surprisingly creative ways other parts of the world honor those who have passed. Tastefully done and respectfully presented, this afternoon event is meant to show that we are all in this together and the fact that we die is the one thing that connects us.
