Soil Instead Of Ashes - Discover Natural Organic Reduction:
FREE Seminar
Thu, Aug 12, 2021 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM MDT
This is a don’t miss opportunity from the Colorado End-of-Life
Collaborative Community and Recompose. Learn about exciting new developments
for Colorado in ecological death care. Anna Swenson, Outreach Manager for Recompose
will share the pros and cons associated with natural organic reduction (aka
human composting), as well as provide guidance around this new legal option in
Colorado.
Have you had a Meet & Greet?
Given the last year and a half, many of you have not had the
opportunity to engage in your first assignment. IF YOU HAVE NOT HAD A MEET
& GREET, please contact Wendy before accepting your first assignment. I
will give you convenient dates/times available for your 15-minute Meet &
Greet and then send you on your merry way. Good things, this way come!!! 😊
