Here to Honor regularly hosts events designed for “Minding our Mortality” —opportunities for ongoing end-of-life learning, contemplative thought, conversation, and connection.
Minding our Mortality: Book Club
We will be discussing Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin, a novel that follows the relationship between two friends over several decades, who begin a successful video game company together. The book explores themes of friendship, identity, failure, and the meaning of life.
Minding our Mortality: Mini Retreat
Pause the demands of daily life for a contemplative mini retreat in the heart of Chelsea, NYC.
Minding our Mortality: Field Trip
For our next MoM: Field Trip, we’re going to see a show! Join us downtown at Sea Dog Theater on Wednesday, March 20th for their production of “Tuesdays with Morrie,” starring Tony Award winner Len Cariou and Chris Domig. Based on the best-selling memoir by Mitchell Albom, this is a humorous and poignant story that begins when a career-obsessed journalist goes back to visit his college professor who, sixteen years later, is facing terminal illness.
Facing Mortality Together: Intensive for Church & Ministry Leaders
“Why is it hard to talk about death?”
“Have I thought about what I want at the end of life? Do my loved ones know?”
“How do I show up for other people in hard times? How do I make peace with the reality of my own mortality?”
These questions and others are addressed in "Facing Mortality Together", Here to Honor’s death education primer designed to help us all grow in vocabulary, fluency, and comfort talking about the difficult topics that surround death.
Special Event: Justice Film Festival
Here to Honor is proud to be a sponsor for the upcoming “Care in Common” evening as part of the Justice Film Festival. This is an evening of short films that celebrate and challenge the culture of care in the United States.
Book Club: “Between Two Kingdoms”
Join us for refreshments and discussion at our next Minding Our Mortality Book Club gathering.
We will be discussing Between Two Kingdoms: A Memoir of a Life Interrupted by Suleika Jaouad, a New York Times Bestseller that traces the author's journey from diagnosis to remission to re-entry into "normal" life.
Webinar: Financial Planning for Long-Term Care
When we think of saving for our “golden years,” we usually focus on retirement. Yet there is a 70% chance that we or our loved ones will need some type of long-term care. How should we prepare for that? Join us as wealth management advisor Robert Bandura introduces strategies to consider in financial planning for long-term care.
Webinar: A Chaplain’s Perspective on Medical Aid in Dying
What is Medical Aid in Dying? How is it different from euthanasia? And how can you support someone who is considering this as a viable treatment alternative? Join us as we delve into these conversations with Rev. Dan Warriner. A former hospice chaplain, Dan hopes to bring some helpful light into this heated topic. He also provides some helpful guidelines and pastoral wisdom for those who provide support for others.
Webinar: Navigating Your Healthcare Journey
The complexity and fragmentation of our current medical environment can make finding the right resources and support difficult, even under the best of circumstances. Now imagine having to make your way while also being faced with a medical crisis or chronic health condition…it's natural to feel scared, vulnerable, and overwhelmed.
Z. Colette Edwards, MD MBA, co-author of Navigating Your Healthcare Journey: Getting the Care You Need and Deserve, will share guidance, insights, and practical tips to empower you when meeting challenges within the healthcare system.
Webinar: Hospice Myths Debunked
What is hospice? Is it a facility where people go to die? Is it only for elderly or cancer patients? What’s the difference between hospice and palliative care? To address these questions, common misconceptions and more, join us for a webinar with Lisa Pahl, Hospice Social Worker and Co-creator of The Death Deck, as she debunks the many myths surrounding hospice and end-of-life care.
