SUMMARY:Death Doula Days
DESCRIPTION:No one likes to talk about dying\, right? We do! \nBring your curiosity\, your courage\, and a sense of humor as we sit around the table at the gatehouse (almost) every Saturday in 2023 to explore our worries and wonderment about mortality. Join our new death doula in residence for a weekly series of conversations and workshops about the end of life. Guests will include those who sit with the dying\, care for our bodies\, and help those we will leave behind. We will work on projects like organizing our digital lives\, documenting our wishes\, and telling our life stories. We will play games\, do projects\, hear musicians\, meet artists\, and hear from scholars who explore the end of life in their work. Our goal is to explore a ‘death positive’ way to think about our mortality. You never know who you’ll meet around the table\, but each person who enters the room is a gift to the event. Cake and tea provided. Donations to our host\, Historic Congressional Cemetery\, are warmly encouraged. \nBy facing our fear of death we aim to best enjoy every breath. \nWe explore new topics and have drop-in guests every week. Get the upcoming topics and news by signing up for the Death Doula Day mailing list by clicking HERE. \n

SUMMARY:Death Doula Days
DESCRIPTION:This Saturday’s topic is: Military Death \nOur special drop in guest will be A.J. Orlikoff\, Congressional Cemetery’s own Director of Public Engagement\, for a Q&A on military death.

You are welcome\, of course\, to arrive or leave any time during Death Doula Day office hours 10am until noon. \nThis week you will have the opportunity to ask AJ questions about a topic of special interest to him\, and of course for all of us at a place like Congressional Cemetery. How do we understand death for military service members and veterans? What are the customs and obligations of our country to service members? How do we memorialize and remember? And how do we find the service records of deceased family members who served? \nAnthony “AJ” Orlikoff\, Director of Public Engagement\, is a dedicated and passionate historian\, educator\, and writer.

SUMMARY:Cemetery Speaker Series: Infectious Disease in World History
DESCRIPTION:As long as human beings have existed\, so too have infectious diseases. These invisible foes of humanity have proliferated and thrived across history\, claiming the lives of untold billions across human history. \nThe Covid-19 Pandemic illustrated to people living today the all too real prevalence of infectious diseases on human societies\, but this relevance is not a new phenomenon. Indeed\, over 100 years ago the 1918 Influenza Pandemic devasted the United States and the world. From September to December 1918 alone\, over 250\,000 people died in the United States from the deadly disease. The  influence of diseases on history are visible across the 35 acres of the cemetery in the form of the various graves and memorials left behind by their victims. \nTo explore the influence of disease on history\, please join us this November for a Cemetery Speaker series event\, with a presentation from a local historian coupled with a thematic tour of the grounds from one of our docents. \nTickets are only $5 and all proceeds benefit our non-profit mission of historical preservation and education. Space is limited so be sure to reserve your spot today! Keynote remarks will take place either outside or inside the Chapel\, weather depending\, and the walking tour will take place on the grounds. The tour is approximately 45 minutes in length. Please come prepared with comfortable clothing and shoes\, as the tours often stray from the main paths. \nThe event is rain or shine. Smoking is prohibited and dogs are not allowed to attend the event unless they are a service animal. \nTo purchase tickets\, click the link HERE.\nWant to rock Cemetery Speaker series merchandise\, including shirts\, hoodies\, and more?\nClick HERE to go to our online store page!\n
