SUMMARY:Crossing the Bridge
DESCRIPTION:Location: via Zoom\nMembers & guests: free.\n\nDeath Cafe has evolved! Crossing the Bridge is a safe space to share personal feelings about death as we support and learn from each other. In addition to exploring our own thoughts\, we talk about books\, films\, legislative developments\, organizations\, and other topics related to death and dying. All are welcome! \n\nFor August\, host Gloria St John will be sharing a special presentation on Sacred Thresholds. \nSACRED THRESHOLD: A Guide to Creating Sacred Time and Space for the Dying\n“Sacred” – worthy of awe and respect\n“Thresholds” – points of spiritual transition where time seems to stand still\nSacred Threshold is a guide to creating a sacred environment for dying whether at\nhome or in the hospital. The idea of the sacred is larger than\, and separate from\,\nreligion\, although the two ideas have been confused\, with the result that the\nsacred has been systematically excluded from ordinary culture. Most end of life\npreparation focuses on legal and medical preparation with little thought given to\nthe actual final time. Sacred Threshold shows how the weeks\, days\, and hours of\none’s death can be transformed into a more meaningful experience with\nintention and the use of ordinary objects that soothe the senses. Although this\nmay not be desired by or possible for everyone\, for those who want it\, Sacred\nThreshold makes it easy to prepare for this experience\, whether one’s own or\nanother’s. Join Gloria St John in this clear and motivating PowerPoint\npresentation. \n\n

SUMMARY:Quality of Life Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:Location: Via Zoom\nMembers & guests: free. \nGroup meets bi-weekly on Fridays. Please register each time and email celebrate@thevillagechicago.org if you need to cancel. \nThe purpose of this group is to give Village members the opportunity to discuss quality of life issues in an informal\, non-judgmental group setting. It will be led by Murray Manus\, a Village member who is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and who has a private\, online therapy practice. The group will be held via Zoom. Anyone can attend any session but you must RSVP in advance. \nTopics to be discussed will include such issues as: healthy relationships\, life fulfillment\, anger management\, conflict resolution\, getting one’s needs met\, and the like. Hopefully\, by attending\, you can gain some insights about how to successfully address problem areas in your life and achieve more joy and life satisfaction. \nMurray Manus is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Illinois and has been a social\nworker for over 15 years with a concentration in mental health. He has worked in community\nmental health for many years\, where he led groups every week\, and for the past 4 years has\nhad his own personal online therapy practice. In his therapy work he relies primarily upon the\nprinciples of humanistic therapy and positive psychology\, which focus upon a person’s\nstrengths and what is right with them rather than what is “wrong”. He helps people identify their own inner strengths and facilitates their ability to use those strengths to create the most\njoyful\, fulfilling and meaningful life possible.

A phenomenon when it came out in 1950. Eve Harrington (Anne Baxter) is more than just an adoring fan of Margot Channing (Bette Davis) and a budding actress. Much more. When Eve gets invited backstage to meet Margot and her entourage\, she gets invited to stay with Margot … and then the fun begins.

Nominated for a record 14 Academy Awards\, it won for best picture\, best director\, best screenplay\, best costume\, and best supporting actor for George Sanders. It’s the only film with 4 actresses nominated for oscars. If you’ve seen it before\, see if it holds up\, or just join the discussion.
