Jan 21 @ 3:30 pm – 4:30 pm
Home Funerals: Caring for Our Own @ WCLS Island Library | Lummi Island | Washington | United States

As sure as birth, death also happens. Choosing to keep our loved ones at home at end-of-life can be a sacred experience. Is it legal? Is it safe? What documents do we need? How do we care for the body as we choose to say goodbye? How do we create sacred space in honor of our loved ones? Join the discussion with Nora Cedarwind-Young, Certified Death Midwife, Green Burial Educator and former Hospice Chaplain. Nora teaches nation-wide and is a founding member of the National Home Funeral Association. She has been featured on NPR, in magazine articles and in books.

Can you believe that 2020 is right around the corner?! Let’s celebrate the end of the 2010s in style. Knut of Paellaworks will be here to serve up delicious oysters! And because we know that this is an exhausting time of year for us all, we’ve decided to celebrate the EAST COAST ball drop! We’ll do a Cava toast at 9pm, hugs & kisses all around, and then it’ll be time to either go home and rest or go to the next bar to celebrate Central time zone’s ball drop. Sparkles, glitter, and glam attire is encouraged, but not required. No cover, just come celebrate with us!

From the jazz halls of New York City to the post-grunge scene of Seattle to the Live Music Capital of the World, Havilah is a true troubadour whose career has spanned several decades and multiple genres. Havilah has recently relocated to the Pacific Northwest after a ten year stint in Austin, TX where she earned herself a steady audience and a respected name amidst a community of stellar musicians. Her songwriting blends a rootsy, rhythmic edge with a poetic lyricism born of adventure, self exploration and artistry at its most poignant. Painted with lush vocal stylings and honey-smoked melodies, Havilah’s songs and voice remind the listener of Joni Mitchell and Nina Simone but with a soul all its own. Joined by slide guitarist Phil Sottile and percussionist Dave Vaughn the set list features country blues and pop covers in addition to Havilah’s outstanding originals
