“Death ends a life, not a relationship”
—Robert Woodruff Anderson, 1968
There is more to death than the living can ever know. And while the experience of losing a loved one is universal, it is also intensely personal — we all have different ways of working through loss. But what if our relationship with the dead could be reframed? What if social mores were amended so that visits from those we’ve lost were expected? What if it were “normal” to remain bonded to our departed loved ones forever?
A new documentary film called Life with Ghosts addresses this issue with remarkable insight and clarity. It features an unconventional research study at the University of North Texas and the first-ever publicly funded facilitation of after-death contact. The film sheds new light on how we process grief as well as a naturally recurring and abundantly healing phenomenon that we’ve been discouraged from exploring.
We’ve arranged for a private online screening exclusive to our community along with a LIVE Zoom Q&A with the filmmaker, Stephen Berkley.
Special VIP tickets are available if you would like to reserve a recliner on site for the viewing, there is a fixed fee of $20.
