Admission to the event is $5, along with a requested honorarium of $5 for Pruett. Pruett will discuss natu- ral, green burials to explore how our deaths can reflect the environmental values. This will be an early coastal celebration of Earth Day. When asked why natural burial is becoming a topic for consideration, the River View Cemetery in Portland, where natural burial and funeral options are available, notes: “There are several reasons: the desire to have a simpler, environmental- ly-friendly burial; and the desire to return to the earth as quickly as possible, with- out unnatural barriers such as embalming, sealed metal caskets, or steel-reinforced concrete burial vaults.” Pruett, an interfaith minister, is a consultant and Life-Cycle Celebrant who brings people togeth- er to help prepare for, live with and talk about death. A facilitator with Oregon Humanities’ Talking About Dying program, she led the “Death: OK, Let’s Talk About It” conference in Portland in 2015. Since early 2013 she has served as principal organizer of PDX Death Café. She founded the Death Talk Project to foster useful,, honest conversation about how we die, how we mourn and how we care for and remember our dead. With a master’s degree from the Leadership Institute of Seattle, Pruett is certi- fied in Thanatology: Death, Dying & Bereavement by the Association for Death Education and Counseling. The Art of Aging/Dying Series is a program of the Hoffman Center for the Arts and will be held at the Hoff- man Center (across from Manzanita Library at 594 Laneda Avenue.)
