Graduating into December

"Death is not the opposite of life, but a part of it" Haruki Murakami

The Shoreham Congregational Church will host an event about transitioning into the next phase of living on Saturday, February 18, 2023 from 2pm-4pm in the Fellowship Hall.

What comes to mind when you hear the words "death" and dying"?
What would the elements of a positive dying experience look like to you or for your family?
Where would you like to be as you graduate into the next phase in the journey?

Becki Lund of La Dimora, a Certified End of Life Doula, Grief Facilitator, and Reiki Master Teacher, will lead a discussion about what the term "a good death" looks like for us all.

Let's begin talking about death in a more honorable, sacred way reflective of what it truly is. All are welcome to join us at this free event.

"When we open our hearts to others, we allow the language of love, acceptance and empathy to speak through us."
