Making Friends with Death: Choosing Death as an Ally

Event Date:

Repeats every week every Saturday until Sat Jan 30 2016.

Saturday, January 9, 2016 - 10:00am to 2:00pm

Event Description:

Our aim for the series is to support experiential discovery and learning about this deep, tender and mysterious topic. Gently we’ll tend to the frightened parts of us that lag in preparation as well as honor the parts that have burst through the cultural trance of denial.

Moving into the mystery, we will offer poetry, books and websites, small group discussion, meditation, movement, time for questions, journaling and guided meditation.

Brian Kirven & J.P. Weingarten Book Release Celebration

Event Date:

Friday, December 11, 2015 - 6:30pm

Event Description:

Having both started writing poetry at age 14, JP and Brian have just published their first collections at around the half-century mark of their lives. In this sense, you could say they are late bloomers, but through this experience they are united by the common goal of inspiring one another as well as other local poets by creating a forum that provides a safe and trusting space to express and share their creative spirits.

KWMR Let's Talk call-in show

Event Date:

Thursday, August 20, 2015 - 11:00am

Event Description:

There’s a new show coming to KWMR called Let’s Talk. It’s the first dedicated call-in show on the station, and the idea is to hear from the listeners of KWMR about their views on important subjects. The hosts are Bernie Stephan, Raven Gray and Paul Reffell.

Our first topic will be end-of-life options and whether people suffering from incurable and painful conditions should have the right to end their lives with prescribed medications at a time of their own choosing.
