Communicating about our own or loved one’s mortality can be uncomfortable, which often leads us to avoid talking about death. However, when we communicate about dying, we open opportunities to make space for our fears, reflect on the purpose of our lives, and build meaningful connections with the living, dying, and those who have passed. In this webinar, participants will learn about research focused on final conversations, deathbed visions, and continuous bonds. They also will be provided with an opportunity to engage in a creative reflective exercise designed to facilitate communication and connection in the space between life and death.

The philosophy of Ubuntu is ubiquitous in traditional African communities. Ubuntu translates roughly as “I am because we are, and since we are, therefore I am.” Additionally, it implies “I in you, and you in me.” Beyond the basic idea of group or communal identity, Ubuntu connotes a complex interplay between the concerns of the individual and the concerns of the group. Employing vignettes, music samples, and writings on Ubuntu, Arthur Jones will invite reflections on lessons from Ubuntu that we might all strive to apply to our increasingly polarized social and political lives in America.
