August screening: Shadow of the Holy Book, http://newsreel.org/
Saparmurat Niyazov, self-appointed President for Life of Turkmenistan, used his "holy book", the Ruhnama, to justify and propagate his despotic regime until his death in 2006. The film's satirical approach lays bare the support he received from profiteers despite systemic abuses of human rights.

Conversations about Death - "Dying Alone: You Don’t Have to be Afraid"
Topic is Conversations about Death - "Dying Alone: You Don’t Have to be Afraid" presented by Rev.Carrie Lauer and Cassandra Christenson
Death will happen and generally it is not known when or where. We may be alone by choice or by accident. It is good to know how to help one's own self through this unknown time that we may be without fear. Rev. Carrie Lauer and Cassandra Christenson will co-lead the evening. They will draw upon their experiences of being with the dying, the wisdom of ancient traditions, and the knowledge of those who have had profound experiences when death seemed to be upon them. Questions? Contact Cassandra.
