This Saturday’s topic is: Dying while Fat. Our special drop in guest will be Isabella Carr, Founder, Deathfat Doula. Yes, our topic’s use of the word “Fat” may be surprising but it is deliberate.

This Saturday we are having an exciting new offering. We have permission to show the new 2022 award-winning feature documentary "Jack Has a Plan," during our weekly gathering. The filmmaker, Bradley Berman, generously gave us permission for a single screening at Congressional. The "Jack" in the title was Berman's best friend.

This Saturday’s topic is: Dying Independently In our conversations this year it has come up often: how do we die independently? Single. Solo. No descendants. No living parents. No partners. [...]

This week we have a special facilitator, Liana Mensh, an art director here in DC. Do YOU have “aspirational” art and craft supplies that haunt and taunt you? Us, too. So, we’re inviting you to grab those unused marker sets, glitter pens, glue guns and watercolors and bring them down. Not to make great art, though. We’re going to make some bad art and have good fun doing it. Then trade them!

Our special drop in guest will be Laura Gabisch, who teaches yoga classes at Congressional Cemetery. Gabisch, who intrigued us all with a mention of Shavasana, or Corpse Pose, as she was heading over to lead a yoga class. Join us for a bit of "chair yoga" and a chat about yoga and death.
