  July 31 – MATTER OF HEART – Part Two.   "Matter of Heart", a compelling portrait of Carl Gustav Jung, is a film that will be shown and discussed in two parts on these Sunday Forums. Jung's genius and humanity reached far beyond the realm of psychiatry into redefining the essential nature of who we are. More than a linear biography, the film presents a fuller perspective on this humanist, healer, friend and mentor through the skillful interweaving of rare home movies, valuable archival footage, and a wealth of interviews with such notables as Sir Laurens van der Post and Marie-Louise von Franz.

This Sunday, July 17 at 9 - PLANNING FOR DEATH AND BURIAL WITH THE EARTH IN MIND – Michele Skeele. We often find it hard to have conversations about death, ours or a loved one's. But as we find ourselves in the midst of shifts of consciousness, we have an opportunity to be change-agents for our culture. Sustainability, a practice which has become crucial for our planet, is not usually considered when we die. But we can plan for burial with the Earth in mind. Many green choices are available if we know where to look, but families in the midst of grief often don't know where to begin.

Contemplating a "good death" can be an important aspect of living fully and we can empower ourselves to create end-of-life experiences that enrich our families and communities. Our options to create meaning as we leave our bodies are as varied and rich as we are. We can reclaim death-care as part of the circle of life for our families and communities. Michele Skeele is a Death Doula and a Guide on Call with the Center of Life Transitions in Asheville, NC. She is trained as a Therapeutic Music Practitioner to play Native American flutes at the bedside of the dying. Michele is also on the board of the WNC chapter of the Funeral Consumers Alliance, a national advocacy organization. She is passionate about bringing death back into the circle of life.
