Please join us at 6.45pm ET for an introduction to the film and stay on after the film for a post-screening discussion with Robert Haden, Aditi Sethi & Scott Kirschenbaum.

• Robert Haden is a Creative Director and trusted guide for logo’s, websites, and all things visual. He draws on his experience working with large advertising agencies throughout the Southeast as well as his tenure as Art Director for the Biltmore Estate. In addition to his design work, Robert has trained as a dream worker and spiritual director with the Haden Institute (founded by his father) and volunteers with the Asheville NC-based Center for Conscious Living & Dying as a end-of-life doula and fire keeper. He brings his open heart, gifts of vision, intuition and connection to the Divine flow constellating our planet, creation and each other to all that he does.

• Dr. Aditi Sethi is a hospice and palliative care physician, end-of-life doula, musician and executive director of Center for Conscious Living & Dying. Featured in The Last Ecstatic Days, Aditi is an emerging and important voice for shifting our culture’s understanding and approach to dying, death, and bereavement care.
