Life Matters

Life Matters

Life Matters is an event series that we offer in-person in either our home at 100 Wurts Street, Kingston NY or other local community locations. We advocate for the re-balancing of life and death by hosting this monthly series of programs for the public to examine perspectives on death and dying. The Lancet Commission on the Value of Death imagines “a new vision of how death and dying could be. The five principles are: the social determinants of death, dying, and grieving are tackled; dying is understood to be a relational and spiritual process rather than simply a physiological event; networks of care lead support for people dying, caring, and grieving; conversations and stories about everyday death, dying, and grief become common; and death is recognized as having value.” Life Matters addresses such possibilities by welcoming various speakers to present issues and social concerns for the living. We also host interesting workshops. See more details here.

We request that you register for these in-person events. The room comfortably holds up to 18 people, so please register early if you are interested in attending. There is no fee for these discussions. To register, please click on the form for each meeting listed below.
