EarthDiverse: Death Café discussion group

todd from EarthDiverse

Join an EarthDiverse philosophical discussion group PHL304: “DEATH CAFÉ: CONVERSATIONS ABOUT MORTALITY,” a new course in our Philosophy series beginning Wed 20th Oct 2021, 11am-12:30pm New Zealand time. Distance learning options available available via Zoom if Covid restrictions remain.

As we progress into the 21st century, people have become a little bolder and braver in talking about what was once a taboo subject. Death has come out of the closet and people are now wanting to confront the subject from all possible angles. No longer shy or diffident, there is a desire and need to talk about a host of issues that surround what has been described as the extreme event in life.

This discussion group caters for those who wish to explore the question of death with a range of prepared topics each week for open forum discussion. Come with your own questions and experiences and opinions on matters that touch the heart of the human condition.

Register now at: <earthdiverse.org.nz/>

Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

With pointed fangs, I sit and wait;

I grab victims, proclaiming might,
and physically join with a single bite.
What am I?

Poll: Do you want the water tower to stay?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Cambridge may not have to say goodbye to its historic water tower just yet as the council investigates a new, more affordable, way to preserve it.

However its final fate may rest on the outcome of a new detailed seismic assessment due to be completed by the end of the year.

Do you want the water tower to stay? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
