The Movie:
The film BEING THERE – DA SEIN portraits four people from different cultures giving care to dying people. By confronting their own mortality, they must also reflect on their own relation to death and dying. The protagonists (Ron Hoffman, USA, Elisabeth Würmli, Switzerland, Alcio Braz, Brazil and Sonam Dölma, Nepal) raise the question whether we should adopt a new Ars Moriendi in today’s time. A new art of dying – as it was the case in the Middle Ages – that would comprehend dying as a vital part of life and that could enrich our lives again by dealing with our death more consciously.
The Death Café:
A Death Cafe is a group directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counselling session.The objective is ‘to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives’.
This event is organized by Lhagsam members with the simple wish of bringing people together, sharing our thoughts and creating connections.
You can bring something to eat or drink if you wish. We are looking forward to meeting you!
