Saturday Soiree & Concert.

Vision 

Saturday evening is a night dedicated to the hauntingly beautiful music of traditional Irish Keening, Zimbabwean Mbira Ancestral songs, and  profound and poetic storytelling and readings woven intimately with musical accompaniment. This is a night not to be missed! Mingle, meet and enjoy an evening of outstanding entertainment.

To break the taboo around death. To create opportunities through discussions, art, demonstrations, and storytelling, to share our experiences, beliefs and learnings about how we can transform how we live, die and care for our dying and grieve. To gather community. To connect people to the resources, education, and opportunities to learn with and be inspired by the leaders and change-makers who are making this transformation a reality.
