Today, guests Nia Rucker and Trisha McCaul share their observations after hosting a "Death Over Drafts" event in Las Cruces. Death Over Drafts is a setting for casual community discussion about death and dying, over beers and snacks. Held at a local brewery with about 25 people in attendance, the group conversations spanned a broad spectrum of death and dying related experiences, thoughts and feelings. Trisha and Nia offer their insights as individuals and as conveners of the event. From his vantage point as a family therapist, Jack Turney made some carefully considered inquiries and shared some relevant perspectives as well. Welcome to a fun and thoughtful conversation about how we think (or avoid thinking) about death in our culture.
Death Over Drafts Alua Arthur - TED Talk - Thinking about Death The Death Deck - A Lively Party Game My simplistic, child-like worldview was changed forever a few days after the horrific murders of 11 Israeli athletes by the Palestinian group Black September during the 1972 Olympics in Munich, Germany.
Two of my great loves as a kid were sports and stories. And so, I especially loved stories about sports. One of my favorites was the one about warring kings in Ancient Greece who laid down their arms and called for a temporary truce during the Olympics. That truce assured safe passage for athletes traveling to and from the Games. Scott Starr, a hospice patient, will be with us for a candid discussion of death and dying, a subject our culture tends to hide, avoid, and dissemble about. Hospice patients have been diagnosed with a condition that likely means they have less than six months to live. Lorraine Padilla, Executive Director of Mesilla Valley Hospice Foundation, will also join the discussion to discuss death and how hospice works.
