Have your questions about death answered...
...and answer questions you didn’t even know you had!
Join the Western Montana End of Life Collective for an immersive day of learning about all things death-related. The day will include a demonstration of what a home funeral can look like, a panel about green burial and other practical end-of-life planning topics, and an introduction to human-powered farewells through Missoula's bicycle hearse. We aim to create a space that engages these challenging topics through curiosity, participation, joy, and creativity.
Local deathwork practitioners and partners will be tabling throughout the event, showcasing holistic, community-oriented, and ecologically attentive end-of-life practices.
Join for the whole time or just for the parts that interest you. This is a family-friendly event; we will have age-appropriate activities, a resource table that includes children's books, and creative activities like painting a cremation box.
The Western Montana End of Life Collective is an organized collective of Certified Death Midwives whose mission is to educate, empower, and support community members navigating end-of-life care. Find more information about the Collective at https://www.endoflifecollective.com

Start your Tuesday with presence, breath, and movement. Join licensed acupuncturist Gavin McClure for a weekly QiGong class right here at Good Medicine Missoula.
QiGong (pronounced "chee-gong") is an ancient Chinese movement practice that combines gentle, flowing postures with focused breathing and calm intention. It's designed to cultivate and balance the body's vital energy, supporting everything from joint mobility and stress relief to deeper internal awareness.
No experience is necessary. The movements of QiGong are accessible to all ages and fitness levels, and Gavin's teaching offers layers of depth that keep the practice rich for seasoned practitioners as well. Whether you're stepping onto this path for the first time or refining a practice you've carried for years, you're welcome here.
No registration required, come as you are.
