Neighbor is pleased to host our friends, Here to Honor, and the next installment of the Minding our Mortality Book Club. More info from the host below:
“Minding our Mortality” [MoM] events by Here to Honor provide opportunities for contemplative thought and conversation—designated time and space for considering our impermanence in ways that tap into our deepest human longings and shape how we face our finitude.
We will be discussing Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman, a nonfiction read that challenges us to reevaluate how we spend our limited time on Earth.
It is recommended that you read this book prior to our meeting at Neighbor on Wednesday evening, July 31st. Beverages and snacks will be provided.
A description of this book is excerpted from Bookshop.org below:
Drawing on the insights of both ancient and contemporary philosophers, psychologists, and spiritual teachers, Oliver Burkeman delivers an entertaining, humorous, practical, and ultimately profound guide to time and time management. Rejecting the futile modern obsession with "getting everything done," Four Thousand Weeks introduces readers to tools for constructing a meaningful life by embracing finitude, showing that many of the unhelpful ways we've come to think about time aren't inescapable, unchanging truths, but choices we've made as individuals and as a society--and that we can do things differently.
Purchasing from Bookshop.org supports local bookstores as well as Here to Honor.
This is a free event, but you will have the option to make a suggested donation of $10 during the registration process—that would help us cover costs and is greatly appreciated!
RSVP here.
ABOUT HERE TO HONOR:
Since its founding in 2020, Here to Honor has envisioned end of life as a journey that can actually lead to stronger relationships and being more fully engaged in the present.
We believe that death, as a shared human experience, can be approached with hope and togetherness. Our mission is to cultivate community around end-of-life learning so that everyone feels supported in facing mortality and equipped to make knowledgeable and loving decisions.
