[ARCHIVED] Department on Aging to host End of Life Cultural Practices event

The Orange County Department on Aging and the Project EngAGE End of Life Choices Senior Resource Team invite the public to attend an introduction to Farewell Earth Network with our program Welcome to Farewell Earth on July 23.

Making end of life decisions can be daunting. With so many options and choices available, it can seem as if we’re running in circles trying to create our plans. Wouldn’t it be easier if the resources and supports were accessible in one place? Join Hunter Beattie as he introduces his new platform Farewell Earth Network, a central location “building a future where death is no longer a taboo but a respected and integral part of our ecological and social fabric.”

The event will take place on Tuesday, July 23, from 4 – 5:30 p.m. at the Seymour Center (2551 Homestead Road, Chapel Hill).   

Register by Friday, July 20. To register, please call the Seymour Center front desk at 919-968-2070. Space is limited.
