SUMMARY:Silent Book Club of Death
DESCRIPTION:Historic Congressional Cemetery hosts special guest\, Death Project Manager\, for a special pop up Silent Book Club of Death – a book club for introverts – on Saturday\, May 11th! \nLike book clubs\, but want to read your own book? \nWant to reflect on your mortality in the company of polite bookworms? \nLooking for an anti-social social club\, where you can meet people then politely ignore them? \nCome read and mingle with new\, bookish friends at this special edition of Silent Book Club of Death! Bring whatever book you happen to be reading – related to the theme of death / dying / grief / aging / mortality – to read in companionable silence\, then share out about it with your new\, bookish friends. \nEven if you choose not to read a death-themed book and just want to read quietly in a death positive space\, come join us! \nNot sure what to read? We will have books you can browse for inspiration. We hope you will join us and dedicate some time to reading and reflection! \nSchedule: \n10 AM – 10:30 AM: Meet and chat \n10:30 AM – 10:45 AM: Introductions + overview of Silent Book Club of Death \n10:45 AM – 11:30 AM: Silent reading \n11:30 AM – 12PM: Chat about what you’ve read and share quotes\, insights\, or questions that arose for you \nCatherine\, your Death Project Manager\, is the creator of the Mortality Workbook\, a toolkit to collect what your loved ones should know before you go\, so that you can rest in peace. She has previously spoken at Historic Congressional Cemetery virtually during Death Doula Days\, and has hosted Silent Book Club of Death pop ups worldwide. Learn more at deathprojectmanager.com and on Instagram (@deathprojectmanager). \nSee you in the chapel of the Historic Congressional Cemetery on Saturday\, May 11th at 10AM! \nAny questions?
