Peace Day Commemoration featuring Shirley Kazuyo Muramoto @Central

Join us for this intergenerational Peace Day Commemoration.

We will listen to beautiful koto music by Shirley Kazuyo Muramoto, and hear a short reading in honor of Sadako Sasaki, a young girl who lived through the bombing of Hiroshima, but died years later from the effects of the atomic bomb. She was made famous for folding 1,000 origami cranes in the hopes that her wish to survive would be granted.

Death Cafe @Central CANCELLED

Unfortunately this month's Death Cafe is canceled. We apologize for any inconvenience. 

You are invited to a Death Café experience where people, often strangers, gather to discuss death.

The objective is “to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives”. The experience will be a group discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counseling session. Death Cafés help people talk about death and dying in a supportive, unstructured way.
