SUMMARY:Mortality Tea Room: Death Doula Pop Up
DESCRIPTION:Mortality Tea Room: Death Doula Pop Up\nGet ready for a unique experience this February at the Historic Congressional Cemetery! This pop-up project will be in the chapel\, open most days in February from Wednesday through Sunday from noon to 6 pm\, where you can freely explore the often-taboo topic of death in a warm and inviting atmosphere. Laura\, our Death Doula In Residence\, will welcome you to stop by to engage in meaningful conversations\, discover valuable resources\, and partake in activities that promote understanding and acceptance of this universal experience called death. No reservations are necessary but check the death doula’s instagram to make sure we are open before you come down.\n\nAMONG AVAILABLE EXPERIENCES: Write your own obituary\, play Death Deck\, make a nature mandala\, exchange plant cuttings\, or participate in a mini-death cafe. Learn about advance directives\, living wills\, green burial\, hospice\, and death binders. Come on your own or bring friends and family. Children are more than welcome to join in and will find activities designed just for them. While the event is free\, your generous donations to the cemetery foundation will be immensely appreciated\, helping us preserve this historical site for future generations. Come\, share\, and be part of this life-enhancing experience. \nPlease note this schedule is subject to change depending on funeral and cemetery needs. Follow this project and see open hours on the death doula’s Instagram or via the sign at the front gate.
