Meeting of Mortals

Do you have an interest in talking mortality with other mortals? Are you curious to explore the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of mortality? Join me, Melissa McClave, a Death Doula with “Last Acts of Love,” for my new discussion group, “Meeting of Mortals.” This group-led conversation is open to discussing everything about dying and death, from choosing who will speak with you when you can’t speak for yourself to how you want to be memorialized for future generations.

What is a “Meeting of Mortals?”

The name, “Meeting of Mortals,” is based on the word “mortal,” which is a noun that is defined as a human being. Following the etymology of “mortal” takes me to the Latin root “Mort”, which means “death.” And finally, the word that best describes this discussion, “mortality,” is defined as “the quality or state of being mortal.”

Many can’t attend my weekday events, so I secured a venue for an evening discussion group. We’ll explore dying and death. Attendees can ask questions, share views, and listen. This “Meeting of Mortals” normalizes mortality talk. It’s free, in Solana Beach, CA, near BellyUp and The Sound, every second Friday, 6-7:30 PM. Join us!

This is a time and place to normalize the subject of mortality and start the weekend off with a better understanding of our limited time to connect with ourselves and each other. Afterwards, we recommend you try one of the nearby restaurants for a meal and the opportunity to continue the conversation.

I’m hosting this FREE “Meeting of Mortals” on the second Friday evening of each month from 6-7:30 PM in Solana Beach, CA. The topics covered will depend on the mortals attending. All people and topics are welcome with the understanding that everyone present respects the perspective of others. To RSVP,  contact me here to reserve your seat.
