EarthDiverse: Death Café discussion group

todd from EarthDiverse

Join an EarthDiverse philosophical discussion group PHL304: “DEATH CAFÉ: CONVERSATIONS ABOUT MORTALITY,” a new course in our Philosophy series beginning Wed 20th Oct 2021, 11am-12:30pm New Zealand time. Distance learning options available available via Zoom if Covid restrictions remain.

As we progress into the 21st century, people have become a little bolder and braver in talking about what was once a taboo subject. Death has come out of the closet and people are now wanting to confront the subject from all possible angles. No longer shy or diffident, there is a desire and need to talk about a host of issues that surround what has been described as the extreme event in life.

This discussion group caters for those who wish to explore the question of death with a range of prepared topics each week for open forum discussion. Come with your own questions and experiences and opinions on matters that touch the heart of the human condition.

Have you heard about this Hamilton petition?

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

A group of Hamilton business owners have started a petition to stop the council from hiking up rates and passing the cost of what they say are unpopular projects on to residents.

It frustrates longtime residents Tom Andrews, a former roading engineer who owns Classics Museum and has property interests and Jo Reeder, to see Hamiltonians facing large bills.
