Bevival events and death literacy programming

a gathering place for death literacy, long before the end

Past events

To help unpack and prepare for ending of life we designed a 3-part workshop where attendance exceeded expectations and overflow moved to Zoom. Many thanks to Ulster County Office for Aging and the Ulster County Women’s Network for their support.

In recognition of National Healthcare Decisions Day, we held a dinner party where attendees were treated to an flavorful array of traditional comfort foods typically served at memorial gatherings. This awesome sold-out event was made possible in partnership with Chris Hewitt founder of Tilda’s Kitchen, Circle of Friends for the Dying, and the support of Kitt Potter, Kingston’s Director of Arts and Cultural Affairs.
