SUMMARY:Death over Drafts at Duffy's!
DESCRIPTION:Join us from 6-7:30pm at our favorite neighborhood pub for Death Over Drafts! \nWHERE?  \nDuffy’s Irish Pub 1901 C St SE\, Washington\, DC 20003 \nWHY? \nThis is a free and informal gathering for the community that will be held monthly on the FINAL (get it?) Tuesday of the month. Come once or come monthly: no experience or expectations necessary! The event is co-hosted by a “death doula” and a “death midwife” who love getting people to talk about this sometimes-taboo topic. \nThe founder of the Death Over Drafts movement\, Stefanie Elkins\, describes the goal as this: “Death over Drafts is a casual and fun community event to spark connection and is part of a growing movement to destigmatize important conversations on end-of-life.”  \nWhat to expect: \n\nThe event is free!\nAll are welcome!\nYou can still come if you don’t love beer\, there are other snacks and drinks! ;)\nThis is a super supportive community\, but we are not a support group.\nIn this communal environment\, we remind you to be responsible for your own engagement.\n\nAt Death Over Drafts\, the public can enjoy a fun conversation where death is not avoided. There’s no lecture\, but questions will be answered. You never know who you will sit next to\, very interesting fellow guests will be in our midst. We will also have a game called “Death Deck” on the table\, a Death Over Drafts favorite activity! \nEveryone dies\, and talking about it won’t kill us. \nYour hosts for the evening will be the Death Doula in Residence at Congressional Cemetery\, Laura Lyster-Mensh\, and Death Midwife\, Robin Miniter. \nHOW? \nDon’t ghost us!  \nLet us know to expect you by CLICKING HERE. Any questions? Email the Death Doula in Residence at Congressional Cemetery\, Laura: Deathdoula@congressionalcemetery.org

SUMMARY:Death Cafe at Congressional Cemetery
DESCRIPTION:We welcome you to join us at one of our monthly Death Cafes at Historic Congressional Cemetery. \nAs an active burial ground\, Historic Congressional Cemetery is well acquainted with death\, but just what is a Death Cafe? \nDeath Cafe is a global movement to encourage discussion about the often-taboo subject of death. These are intimate informal gatherings where we discuss death while eating cake and drinking tea to remind us of comfort and sweetness even in difficult times. There is no agenda other than providing a space for an open-ended conversation. \nPlease join us to explore these topics in the spirit of curiosity and wonder. Please keep in mind these gatherings are not meant to offer or replace grief counseling. In the interest of privacy and being present\, we ask that these conversations remain in the room and there be no recording\, note-taking\, or personal details shared afterward. \nFollow this link for more about Death Cafe history and concept. \nAt Congressional Cemetery\, our Death Cafes are facilitated by a rotating slate of volunteers in the region\, each bringing their own unique energy and way to make space for the conversation. Our Death Doula in Residence\, Laura Lyster-Mensh\, represents the cemetery  for these evenings. \nCongressional Cemetery offers these unique conversations free of charge\, and offers tea and sweets in the tradition of death cafes around the world. We do ask that you consider bringing a food or beverage item to share\, or a suggested $5 donation\, to help cover event costs. \nDue to space limitations and to allow us to offer an intimate conversation\, please reserve a chair for the dates you will be joining us. To be on the waitlist for any unavailable dates\, use the form or please email Laura at deathdoula@congressionalcemetery.org \nRESERVE A SEAT AT AN UPCOMING DEATH CAFE HERE \nFacilitators for 2024: \nMarch 7     Sarah La Rocca (Congressional Cemetery) \nApril 4    Laura Lyster-Mensh (Congressional Cemetery) \nMay 2     Robin Miniter \nJune 6     Diane Ullius \nAugust 1     AJ Orlikoff (Congressional Cemetery) \nSeptember 5    Kitty Linton (Congressional Cemetery) \nOctober 3     Lisa Yanez \nNovember 14    Sam Stebbins \nDecember 5     Lisa Munsat

SUMMARY:Worldwide Candle Lighting (with The Compassionate Friends)
DESCRIPTION:Congressional Cemetery will host a candle lighting on December 8 at 7pm as part of The Compassionate Friends 28th Worldwide Candle Lighting. \nFamilies in the community who have suffered the loss of sons and daughters of any age deserve our attention and caring. At our cemetery we know the importance of remembering\, honoring\, and speaking the names of those we have lost. \nCompassionate Friends is an international organization dedicated to “supporting family after a child has died.” This annual mass candle lighting is believed to be the largest such event on the globe. On the 2nd Sunday of December\, families around the world who have lost a child of any age gather in groups or in homes to create a virtual 24-hour wave of light as it moves from time zone to time zone at 7pm local time for one hour. \nJoin us outside the gates of the cemetery to show families they are not alone\, and that their loss is seen and heard and matters to us. Come gather at 7pm as we join the world “in lighting candles for one hour to honor the memories of the sons\, daughters\, brothers\, sisters\, and grandchildren who left too soon.” \nCome support families remembering their loved ones of every age. \nAs part of our remembrance\, we are decorating our Big Chair outside the cemetery and creating an enormous collective wind chime on the cemetery fence together. We invite you to bring a wind chime or things that sparkle or shine to hang on the cemetery gate during the ceremony to add a beautiful sound to the candlelight on the grounds during the ceremony. (see a video of the 2023 wind chime.) \nThe DC Chapter of Compassionate Friends will be leading the ceremony and the public is welcome. If you are not able to be with us in person you can join in the international event online. Details HERE. \nPlease CLICK HERE to let us know you plan to join us for this ceremony. \nIf you have questions or want to volunteer\, email us at this link.

SUMMARY:Tombs and Tomes Book Club January (In Person)
DESCRIPTION:Discover the science of forensics through Agatha Christie’s novels \nAgatha Christie is the bestselling novelist of all time\, and nearly every story she ever wrote involves one―or\, more commonly\, several―dead bodies. And the cause of death\, the motives behind violent crimes\, the clues that inevitably are left behind\, and the people who put the pieces together to solve the mystery invite the reader to analyze the evidence and race to find the answer before the detective does. Nearly every step of the way\, Christie outlines the nuts and bolts of early 20th-century crime detection\, relying on physical evidence to tell the real story behind the facades humans erect to escape detection. \nChristie wouldn’t have talked of “forensics” as it is understood today―most of her work predates the modern developments of forensics science―but in each tale she harnesses the power of human observation\, ingenuity\, and scientific developments of the era. A fascinating\, science-based deep dive\, The Science of Murder examines the use of fingerprints\, firearms\, handwriting\, blood spatter analysis\, toxicology\, and more in Christie’s beloved works. \nStill interested?
