The focus is an open-ended forum for investigating life’s meaning when informed by the finitude of our existence. Our conversations uncover insights into the mystery of life as seen through the prism of death’s inevitability. The meeting is informal, without expectation, and open to all.THE DEATH CAFE AND THE DEATH-POSITIVE MOVEMENTThe Death Cafe is part of a growing international movement of people who desire to reevaluate and transform our cultural relationship to death. Since its founding in England in September 2011, Death Cafes have spread internationally and are now held in over 90 countries. The Cafes bring together people who are committed to a healthier approach to dying, death and burial, including green burials and alternatives to the problematic practices of the traditional funeral industry. The Death Cafe is conducted under the original guiding principle of its founder, Jon Underwood, ‘to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives’. The simple directive for the gathering is to ‘get people together, have tea and cake, and talk about death.’ At the PRS Death Cafe we are especially engaged in a secular humanist investigation into the nature of reality, living and dying. Additional information on the Death Cafe can be found at .YOUR HOSTElizabeth Gill Lui is a fine art photographer, published author, and educator. Her academic background includes advanced degrees in Comparative Religion, American Indian Studies, Architectural Photography, and Transformational Psychology. She has been a distinguished visiting scholar at schools in the US and Asia, and recipient of grants from the Ford Foundation, the Graham Foundation, and the Rockefeller Fund. Lui’s books have looked at the cultural significance of architecture and the built environment as humanizing aesthetic forces, while promoting the need for architectural literacy. Her fine artwork in photography presents iconic imagery that conveys the unity of consciousness and nature, the fractal patterns present in the organic world, and the profound connections that unite us all.
