SUMMARY:Death Cafe
DESCRIPTION:This is a friendly reminder that the Kalein Centre is hosting its’ last Death Cafe of the Decade!!\nWe invite you to join us next Wednesday\, November 27 from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.\, here at the Kalein Centre. \nSince 2013\, Kalein has been hosting death cafés as part of an international movement of over 5000\nregistered cafés in 51 countries. As the founder saw it\, “Western society has long outsourced\ndiscussions about death to doctors\, nurses\, priests and undertakers. The result is that we have lost\ncontrol of one of the most significant events we ever have to face.” \nDeath cafés provide a safe and respectful space to discuss and explore the many dimensions of death\,\nwhat death is for each of us\, and the impact death has on our living. This inquiry is led with sensitivity\nand an invitation to be present for the full range of emotions\, beliefs\, thoughts\, questions and experiences\nsurrounding life and death. In the spirit that we are all both students and teachers to one another\, death\ncafés often focus on questions\, rather than answers. Music\, poetry\, writing\, and other creative modalities\ninform the experience of the death café to support participants in a shared journey.\nIn the words of Frank Ostaseski\, author and pioneer in end-of-life care\,\n“We hope to discover what death can teach each of us about living fully.” \nKalein’s Death Café Series fills quickly\, and each session is limited to 25 participants.\nPlease see the attached poster for complete details – admission cost of $10 at the door.\nWe encourage registration for this event\, so please call our office at 250-352-3331. \nWith gratitude as your death café facilitators\,\nLindsay Ann Wheatley- Lindsay is a Counsellor\, End-of-Life care advocate\, musician\, keeper of traditional songs and drum teachings. She is deeply inspired by ritual\, ceremony and the individually\ntransformative journey of grief and loss. \nRayya Liebich – Rayya is a writer and teacher. She finds joy in community engagement through\nteaching and believes that writing is a powerful tool to transform grief and loss. \nRosalyn Cormier – Rosalyn is a funeral celebrant\, counsellor and educator who has been studying\nmulti-cultural approaches to being with death and loss. “In accepting more fully death and dying as\na natural part of the life cycle\, we free ourselves to live more fully in the day to day moments of living\nwith passion and awareness.”

SUMMARY:Death Cafe...A Living Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Dear Friends: \n  \nLast Fall\, many of you either attended one or more of the Death Cafes here in Nelson at Kalein Centre\, or expressed an interest.  Death Cafe is part of an international movement started  in 2011\, which now has over 500 registered Cafes around the world. \nAs the founder saw it\, “Western society has long outsourced discussions about death to doctors\, nurses\, priests and undertakers. The result is that we have lost control of one of the most significant events we ever have to face.” (www.deathcafe.com) \nKalein Hospice Society is delighted to offer a series of three more Cafes this Spring on Wednesdays: March 30\, April 27 & May 25. \n  \nWe will inspire each other\, and co-create\, together\, a warm and respectful space\, in which we can explore the many dimensions of what death is for us.  We would like to invite you into a living conversation\, a dialogue\, an exploration\, and a discovery\, where we can experience each other both as students and teachers.  Perhaps by slowing down and inviting a deeper listening\, we might find ourselves in uncharted territory\, and support one another to find the courage to stay present to tenderness\, heartbreak\, deep love\, fear and gratitude\, that are all part of the mystery of life. \nReservations for a seat at each cafe will be limited to 25 people\, so please register early. \nConfirmations with additional details and information will be emailed to all registrants. \nOn March 30th Kalein welcomes Lori Simposon; mother of a 17 year old daughter who died unexpectedly in her sleep; Lori who has traveled through the loss and grief\, will share with us some of her experience and wisdom from that dark night. \nIn gratitude for all of life\, \nDr. Rosalyn Grady\, Counselor and Funeral Celebrant \nKim Bater\, Executive Director\, Kalein Centre \n  \nTo reserve your seat at the Death Cafe\, please register online: REGISTRATION FORM

SUMMARY:OPENING NIGHT – BETWEEN WORLDS
DESCRIPTION:OPENING NIGHT \nKalein is excited to host an art show – “Between Worlds-Bridging Life and Death in Four Acts” with Kootenay area artists – Gen Gagnon\, Rayya Liebach\, Maggie Shirley\, and Rachel Yoder. \nDoors open at 6:30 and the facilitated program begins at 7 pm. This means it is very important to arrive by 7 pm sharp as each artist will talk about their work briefly and then guide us through a process (questions\, writing\, adding to the work). \nThis is an interactive event not just a viewing of the art on display. The program will take place between 7 pm and 8:30 pm. There will be an opportunity between 6:30 and 7:00 and then again between 8:30 and 9:00 pm to visit\, enjoy appetizers\, and wander and view the art. \nKalein has an important focus on dialogue and education. Art has a way of shifting our perspectives and each artist will lead you in reflecting and in some cases expressing your thoughts about how their work influences your thinking about death\, dying and living fully at all stages of life. \nThe installation will be up for one month.
