Grounded Conversations
What Remains: Gift Your Body to the Earth Naturally
Join us for a thought-provoking panel discussion and discovery session about our place in nature—the questions you didn’t know who to ask.
What is a green burial?
Can my body be composted?
Why are these more sustainable ways a key to our ecological future?
PANEL DISCUSSION
Come hear experts Joseph Charap and Gabrielle R. Gatto, of Green-Wood Cemetery on human composting; Darren Crouch, president of the Green Burial Council on eco burial options; Amy Cunningham, death educator and funeral director; Faith Popcorn, futurist on planning ahead; and Edwina von Gal of Perfect Earth Project and meet the people who provide the newest, oldest, and always graceful ways to return your body to the Earth in the embrace of the peaceful and toxic-free LongHouse landscape.

~ Eileen Mullen, The Lion Head Beach Association
[Edwina’s] presentation was inspirational, entertaining & filled with a joyous sense of freedom – all while imparting such important information & a new way of looking at landscapes & plantings. I am so interested in getting as many of our residents as possible to understand a new perception of beauty.
~ Jean Thatcher, Three Harbors Garden Club
We received wonderful, positive feedback from so many of the attendees who said that they felt informed and empowered to make changes in their home landscape practice towards a more ‘magical’ and sustainable model.
~Lisa de Guzman, Three Harbors Garden Club
My husband and I are totally inspired! And the feedback today says…so are the 175 + guests listening last night.
