SUMMARY:Death Doula Days
DESCRIPTION:This Saturday’s topic is: Ready\, set\, don’t go! \nWe are having an advance planning checklist challenge. No homework necessary: come and fill out a checklist of possible items to take care of to be prepared. Some you have probably already done. Some you are still planning to do. Some you won’t care about. And some you haven’t thought about yet! You will leave with your own checklist and some ideas on how to complete them. \nDon’t worry: the idea is to get started and to make progress\, not perfection. Come join us if you haven’t started anything\, or you want to be a role model as someone who checks every box. No shame\, just encouragement. \nSpoiler alert: death doulas don’t have our whole list complete! \nAll are welcome. In fact\, bring a family member or friend! Do rsvp so we can have enough chairs and snacks prepared. \nThe conference room is\, cosy\, so please do rsvp by clicking HERE. \nWHAT ARE DEATH DOULA DAYS? \nDeath Doula Days on Saturdays 10am-noon at Congressional Cemetery. Free event\, no experience necessary\, donations to support Congressional Cemetery’s work warmly welcome. \nStay up to date on the project and get notice of upcoming topics by joining our Death Doula Day mailing list HERE.

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  \n

SUMMARY:Death Doula Days
DESCRIPTION:This Saturday we will be watching and then discussing a short film called “Honoring Choices.” The film was produced by Grief Dialogues and is made available to us by the playwright and producer\, Elizabeth Coplan with generous underwriting by Compassion & Choices. \nA special shout out to one of my favorite podcasts\, End of Life University\, for their episode about Honoring Choices where I first learned about the project last year. The episode is available here. \nThe film centers on a family facing a father’s end of life and the challenge of learning to talk about it and make plans around it. The title says it all: “honoring choices.” It is about making and honoring choices in a caring and respectful way. \nAfter viewing the film we will have a conversation around the Death Doula Day table about how difficult these conversations are in families\, but also ways to grow more courageous and compassionate as we do so. \nAll are welcome. In fact\, bring a family member or friend! Do rsvp so we can have enough chairs and snacks prepared. \nThe conference room is\, cosy\, so please do rsvp by clicking HERE. \nWHAT ARE DEATH DOULA DAYS? \nDeath Doula Days on Saturdays 10am-noon at Congressional Cemetery.

SUMMARY:Founding the Federal City: Capital Connections Tour
DESCRIPTION:Established in 1800\, Washington DC was the fledgling capital of a fledgling nation. Built to house the seats of federal government\, the nation’s capital soon became a city in its own right\, a place where people lived\, worked\, and\, of course\, died. A mix of congressmen\, merchants\, military officers\, diplomats\, architects\, and enslaved individuals comprised the fabric of the new capital\, an experimental mix of people in an experimental new nation. \nWe invite you to experience the lives of the people in the early days of the Federal City in a new special tour of the cemetery grounds. \nPlease come prepared with comfortable clothing and shoes\, as the tours often stray from the main paths. \nThe Cemetery is closed to dogs on Saturdays\, 11:00-3:00. \nThe tour is rain or shine. \nReservations are required. $5 donation per person \nYou may purchase tickets here!

SUMMARY:Tombs & Tomes Book Club July (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:A gripping historical true crime narrative that “reads like the best of Conan Doyle himself” (Karen Abbott\, author of The Ghosts of Eden Park)\, American Sherlock recounts the riveting true story of the birth of modern criminal investigation. \nBerkeley\, California\, 1933.

SUMMARY:Gentleman's Gambit: A Prohibition Era Mystery
DESCRIPTION:On January 17\, 1920\, the United States went dry. The 18th Amendment ushered in a new era in American history\, one characterized by booming business\, new fashions\, and immense cultural upheaval. And in our nation’s capital\, politicians\, bootleggers\, activists\, government officials\, cooks\, servants\, and everyone else in between all lived side by side\, helping texture the stories from the past we tell today. \nOne of these individuals was James “Jimmy” LaFontaine. Known as the “Gentleman Gambler\,” he owned and operated one of the largest and most profitable casinos of the era\, the Maryland Athletic Club. And at Congressional Cemetery\, Jimmy\, along with a selection of other interred residents\, are returning for a special event. Where is Jimmy? Who else is returning with him? What is the password to access his Maryland Athletic Club? Is Jimmy one of the notorious bootleggers supplying illicit spirits to the halls of Congress and beyond? These questions and more will all be answered at Gentleman’s Gambit: A Prohibition Era Mystery. \nGentleman’s Gambit is an interactive immersive outdoor theater experience in which visitors will be tasked with finding 6 actors playing interred residents across the cemetery grounds. Once they find them all\, they will be granted an audience with Jimmy LaFontaine himself to once and for all solve the Gentleman’s Gambit. \nThe event also features cocktails at our Speakeasy Bar\, live period appropriate music playing throughout the evening\, and more thematic fun. The event is rain or shine. Timed entry tickets are from 4:00 PM-7:45 PM in 15 minute increments. Last call at the bar is at 9:00 PM and all visitors will be asked to leave at 9:15 PM. \nTo purchase tickets\, please click the link HERE!\n \nInstructions:\nHeld on the evenings of May 19 and 20\, visitors will meet their instructor near the Gatehouse of the cemetery at preset start times (see ticket times on checkout) and will be presented with instructions and a Bootlegger’s Adviser mystery document\, containing a map\, helpful hints\, and spaces to write answers. Participants will use the Bootlegger’s Adviser\, hints from various costumed actors\, and of course their own instincts to find actors throughout the cemetery. \nAfter finding an actor in the cemetery and hearing their story\, participants are provided with a letter of a password to access the Maryland Athletic Club. Once they have all the letters and know the full password\, participants may proceed to the final stop to meet Jimmy himself at the Maryland Athletic Club. A complimentary prize is included! \n \nTo ensure every participant is able to enjoy the event\, we ask that you please try to complete the challenge in no more than 1 hour and 15 minutes. You are welcome to enjoy cocktails and music at our Speakeasy Bar after you solve the Gentleman’s Gambit.  \nYou are welcome to arrive before your scheduled start time (we recommend arriving at least 15 minutes early) so you can go through check in/ID check\, purchase a beverage\, or enjoy live music\, etc. But you must meet the instructor near the front gate at your scheduled start time to receive your Bootlegger’s Adviser and instructions to start your challenge.  \nComfortable and reliable footwear is recommended as the self-guided experience may take you across uneven ground.  \nASL Interpreters may be available upon request. If you need an ASL Interpreter to participate in the event\, please message Aorlikoff@congressionalcemetery.org to arrange for one.  \nWant to rock Gentleman’s Gambit merchandise\, including shirts\, hoodies\, etc?
