I can highly recommend *Griefwalker*, available online at the site of the
National Film Board of Canada: http://www.nfb.ca/film/griefwalker/
It would be fun to watch this documentary with the group, if anyone has the
capacity to stream video from the computer to the TV. I watched this twice
when *Tricycle* had it online.
*Griefwalker* is a documentary about a white Canadian and shaman, Stephen
Jenkinson, and his work in a Toronto hospice. It is specifically
Jenkinson's understanding of death from an indigenous viewpoint that make
this film perfect for us as Buddhists.
A quote from Jenkinson in the film: "It is not human to fear death."
Please let us know if you could host this event. I'm afraid my monitor and
computer room are too small and uncomfortable for such a viewing. I highly
recommend the film.
