Death: the last stop on this train of life. We can't escape it, so why aren't we talking about it? 

Meet at Nanaimo Cemetery (555 Bowen Rd), Thurs Nov. 13th, @ 6.30pm, first entrance park at the white buliding. We invite you to dress casually or wear mourning attire.  Bring a momento if you like, your own knapsack of choices.  We will light candles, write notes, sing a song, speak to our departed loved ones.  We will not perform a ritual, yet we will do something. Quiet. Respectful. To be in touch again, to ponder, to speak that which was unspoken, demystify, breathe deeply.  

Continue the dialogue with open mic at the Vault, 7pm. Poetry, song, prose, eulogy, quotes and more.

Part of the Highgate Experience, happening November 21st at the Malaspina Theatre at Vancouver Island University: Find out more about Highgate

“Highgate’s trip into the afterlife is so brilliantly twisted, you might not want to return to the land of the living again.”-Janet Smith, Georgia Straight
