Embodying Unity: Art, Work, and the Spiritual Life

March 10

Daniela Yamez Arrey
Tuesday 7 pm
Onsite and Zoom

This talk explores the unity of matter and spirit through lived experience, artistic practice, and conscious work. Drawing from years of communal life at Saint Elmo Village and from an ongoing land-based project in the foothills of the Andes, Daniela shares a vision of spirituality not as abstraction, but as embodied action. Rather than presenting theory or doctrine, the talk offers a deeply human narrative about creativity, service, simplicity, and courage—inviting listeners to reconnect with their own inner voice and creative responsibility in the world.

Death Café: Tea, Cake, and Conversation

Francine Oller and Ananya Sri Ram

Tuesday 7 PM

Onsite only

Inspired from the work of Swiss sociologist Bernard Crettaz’s “Death Mortels,” Death Cafes became more well known in the US by Jon Underwood and a team of other people. The objective behind a Death Café is “to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives.” It is not a support or counseling group, but a place for people to sit together over cake and tea to discuss in an “accessible, respectful and confidential space” about death without “an agenda, theme. or objective.”
