In the original eight-color version, pink stood for sexuality, red for life, orange for healing, yellow for the sun, green for nature, turquoise for art, indigo for harmony, and violet for spirit. Rainbow colors as symbols of LGBT pride: The most common variant consists of six stripes: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. The flag is typically flown horizontally, with the red stripe on top, as it would be in a natural rainbow. ~ Wikipedia.

After the End: A Journey Through Loss to Hope

"After the End" Movie Night
at Heart House Hospice

Tuesday, July 17, 2018 - 6:30 - 8:30 pm

FREE

"After the End: A Journey Through Loss to Hope" is a documentary film about the effect of loss in each of our lives. Following the stories of people who have each experienced the death of a loved one, the film explores what it means to lose someone without losing ourselves in the process.

Guided by Andrew Morgan, who lost his father in a cycling accident, the filmmakers journey across America speaking with families who have recently experienced a loss, sharing their heartfelt stories about working through the experience. Through interviews with hospice coordinators, bereavement specialists and experts on grief counseling, including Alan D. Wolfelt (author, educator and founder of Center For Loss & Life Transition), Rev. David M. Smith and Elisabeth Kubler-Ross (via archival video), the author of the seminal work on grief issues, "On Death and Dying," we are reminded that by sharing our pain, we allow ourselves to heal.

This is a FREE event. Runtime: 1 hr. 20 min.

Being a pioneer wasn't all about making soap, hauling hay and milking cows! Lianne Harris returns to show us how this era introduced great thoughts, exciting people, and some unusual innovations!

Participants see first-hand objects of pioneer life: a full array of authentic and antique clothing, shoes, accessories, pictures, grooming aids, household goods, medicines, toys and children's wear ... and the wonderful, strange and fascinating results of the 18th and 19th century's ingenuity.

This informative, interactive presentation allows participants to better enjoy and appreciate pioneer life. Wearing a 19th century costume (ah, but no 18-inch waist corset!), Ms. Harris introduces participants to the social, political, and sexual politics of the times, the struggle between class and money, age and gender roles, immigration, and the wondrous innovation, ideas and products we're indebted to.
