Prescott Esoteric Friendship Circle

Mondays | 4:00 - 5:45 p.m. at Peregrine Book Company

Prescott Esoteric Friendship Circle meets Monday nights to contemplate the truth or "Dharma." The group is currently discussing Fools Crow: Wisdom and Power by Thomas E. Mails.  For more information and meeting details, please contact John Lorenz (928) 445-5179.

Frank Fools Crow is regarded by many as the greatest Native American holy person of the last hundred years. Nephew of Black Elk, and a disciplined, gentle, spiritual and political leader, Fools Crow died in 1989 at the age of 99. Fools Crow: Wisdom and Power is the only book to reveal, often in his own words, the philosophy and practice of this historic leader.

Death Café

Wednesday, Sept 27th | 4 p.m.

At a Death Café, people -- often strangers -- gather to eat cake, drink tea and discuss death. The objective is "to increase awareness of death to help people make the most of their (finite) lives." A Death Café is a group-directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives, or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counseling session.

“We live knowing that everything dies. Like the sun, it’s a fact of life. And like the sun, we tend not to look right at it. Unless you’ve experienced a recent death, it’s probably not something you discuss. But a new movement is trying to change that, with a serving of tea and cake.”
