Front Range Eco-Social Solutions: A Bioneers Network Event

When deathcare can happen naturally, and in community, we reclaim a sacred rite and lighten our final footprints. The United States is currently experiencing a resurgence of interest in reconnecting to the cycle of life through green and family-led deathcare. The "home funeral" movement not only encourages families to care for their dead in their own way, creating their own meaningful rituals, but also embraces a green approach to how we do that. This means natural, biodegradable products and non-invasive, gentle, loving care of the dead. It also means practices like green burial where the body is returned to the earth without toxic chemicals and with minimal resource usage. Natural Transitions has been educating families, offering workshops and publishing a natural death magazine since 2003. Join us for a brief theatrical presentation about going out green, an overview of our recent funeral history and the most natural ways to care for our loved-ones at death while taking care of ourselves as the caregivers.
