A non-dogmatic exploration of our mortality in community, ranging from philosophical to spiritual, humorous to informational, Date with Death Club (DwDC) provides a brave and covenantal space to explore the taboo topic of our mortality and the possibility of living a more awake life by facing the reality of our death.

This online monthly gathering (mostly 2nd Wednesdays, 6:30 – 9pm Eastern) is specifically for Unitarian Universalists. While UUs anywhere are welcome to attend, some of the information and an optional field trip on April 30 is really geared towards folx who live in New Jersey.

An email with the Zoom link will be sent 24-48 hours in advance of each session to all who register here.

Facilitated by Rev. Karen G. Johnston, MSW, M.Div., you can learn more about DwDC at datewithdeathclub.com.
