Hi Susan,
Glad to see a plan coming together and things moving forward.  I saw the recent TED Talk and it was very compelling.  I am in favour of GREN helping to sponsor part of the costs along with other organizations.  I’m actually surprised their rental rate is so high or that there would be one for this sort of business building event for them.
Keep moving forward from my perspective.Kevin.

Hi GREN Exec, Just wanted to give you an update on my compost the dead project.  I have made arrangements with the Williamsburg Cemetery to have a Good Green Death Forum and Death Cafe on Saturday Oct. 28, 2017 from 1 – 4. They have agreed to discount the rental fee by $100 because they will be talking about the city’s green burial options at Williamsburg, which takes the rental down to $359 for the three hours. The Grand River Unitarians will be donating, but not sure how much at this point. Would GREN be interested in sponsoring/donating a portion? I’m also still waiting on an answer from the Green Burial Society re donations.  This will be free to the public, will hold about 50 people who will have to register.  My goals are to build public support for green burials and warm up/introduce people to the idea of composting and becoming a tree, and to provide a safe, supportive environment for people to talk about mortality (Death Cafe). Below is the draft agenda.  Draft AgendaIntro (5 minutes) What is a Good Green Death (1 ¼ hr) Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcMj4Az1MwE A Burial Practice That Nourishes the Planet (12 minute TED talk) Caitlin Doughty Panel: Green Burial Options in Kitchener and Waterloo (Trisha Bradshaw & Bryce Crouse or designates)Green Burial Society of Canada (Ellen Newman and/or Mark Richardson) and ?  Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRsopS7yTG8 Let’s Talk about Human Composting (14 minute TED talk) Katrina Spade Urban Death Project Panel: Susan Koswan – update on progress in Ontario and with Urban Death ProjectJohn Kloeze from Actium Composting and ? Break/Light refreshments (10 minutes) Death Cafe (1 ½ hrs) Led/facilitated by Jessica Purple Rodela and Catherine Lauber of Marigold Whole Life Centre (Cambridge) and Michele Cadotte   Best,Susan K_______________________________________________
