Co-Sponsored by Merchant’s House Museum

From Mark Twain’s ghost haunting the “House of Death” on West 10th Street to the multiple cemeteries underneath Washington Square Park, Greenwich Village has a long association with death and the afterlife. Join the Merchant’s House Museum and Village Preservation as we seek to lift the veil around death and dying as we move into the 21st century.

In the “Ask A…” series thanatologist Matilda Garrido interviews those working in the fields of end of life and beyond to discuss historical perspective, emerging ideas, and has an open discussion around topics usually hidden.

Many are familiar with the origin story of the Spiritualist movement of the mid 19th and early 20th century, but did you know the Spiritualist church is alive, well, and thriving today? Join Matilda Garrido and Rev. Terence Harding for a look at the history of the movement and how it has evolved into the present day. Learn Terence’s personal story of how he came to Spiritualism and hear how he works with people through the church to bring comfort through messages from the other side. A Q&A will follow the program.
