Join TalkDeath and local death care workers for fast and fascinating deep dives into topics related to death, end-of-life, and grief

*VERSION FRANÇAISE SUIVRA*
Join TalkDeath and local death care workers for fast and fascinating deep dives into topics related to death, end-of-life, and grief.RSVP REQUIRED, Pay-what-you-can suggested donation $15Doors open at 6, talks begin at 7Presentations will be in English but French and English speakers are welcomeWe hope you can join us!Presentations will include topics such as:⁉️Funeral Myths & Cemetery Conspiracies presented by Betsy Manning-RoyFrom jerking bodies in dimly lit morgues to “bankruptcy-worthy” funeral expenses and the idea that grief follows a strict schedule, let me walk you through a fun and honest Q&A session about common misconceptions surrounding the funeral industry. Together, we’ll unpack the myths, strange stories, and realities of death care with openness, curiosity, and a little humour along the way.📺Your TV Guide to Grief: What Television Fails To Teach Us About Loss presented by Rebecca FeinglosFrom dead Disney moms to sports comeback stories and reality TV meltdowns, television has been teaching us what grief is supposed to look like for generations. The problem? Much of what we've learned is incomplete, oversimplified, or out of touch with what grief actually feels like. In this Deathy Powerpoint presentation, Rebecca Feinglos explores the good, the bad, and the toxic messages we've absorbed about loss, and why the future of TV and grief education might be unfolding on our iPhone screens right now.🥼A Final Gift - A Quick Guide to Whole Body Donation in Quebec presented by Dr. Emily PecsiMany have heard of donating their body to science, but what does that actually entail? Learn the ins and outs of how you can posthumously give the gift of knowledge and scientific discovery in Quebec.📷The Sound Of Good Coffee: Living and Documenting Humanitarian Work in a War Zone presented by Jonathan DurandIn spring 2022, Jonathan Durand found himself unexpectedly living and working in a war zone, confronting death in ways he had never experienced before. As he moved closer to the front lines, sleeping in bomb shelters and waking to missile impacts, that confrontation grew increasingly direct. After one particularly challenging day documenting humanitarian work in Kharkiv, he and a friend stopped for lattes, and to discuss the war raging nearby.🐚Plan D: An Exploration of Dignified Abortion at the Juncture of Deathcare presented by LJ BoyesIn many cultures, abortion is understood as a community experience — met without judgement and held by collective protection and support for the concentric circle of all involved. Abortion can be experienced in many ways: sometimes with a feeling of great completion, and other times — even when it feels like the right choice —shaped by forces including the loss of knowledge once held in community pre-colonization and over-medicalization. In this presentation, LJ aims to illuminate what abortion can look like with different scaffolding and patterns in the cultural field around this experience, and into tending to what author Miriam Rose Brooker calls the "liminal space" after abortion.🍄Psychedelic Assisted Therapy at End-of Life presented by Penny PattisonAn introduction to the benefits and possibilities of therapeutic psilocybin use for people with life limiting conditions.🌱Green Burial and Red Tape: Natural Burial in Quebec presented by Kelly Butler and Emma GriffinTo care for our beloved dead is a birthright, an ancestral inheritance passed from generation to generation. Since time immemorial, communities have cared for deceased loved ones following their spiritual and cultural beliefs. And in simple, loving ways, the dead have been returned to the earth. Unless you're a resident of Quebec.In Quebec, provincial regulations prevent families from caring for their dead, and make natural burial harder to access. Death doulas Kelly Butler and Emma Griffin will examine these barriers, compare them with what is permitted in other provinces and most states, and explain why, when it comes to funeral care, being an exception is not a good thing. And we'll discuss what you can do to reclaim this tradition!

À la croisée du free jazz, du drone, du post-rock et de la musique électronique, Tempête solaire crée une musique instrumentale saturée. La démarche du trio fait se rencontrer composition, improvisation libre et textures électroniques.

Eric Quach manie une basse à huit cordes à travers un arsenal électronique et des amplis grondants. Elyze Venne-Deshaies tisse des nappes au saxophone ténor transformé par l'électronique tandis que le batteur Eric Craven agit comme liant au cœur des dialogues élaborés par le groupe.

Si Tempête solaire explore des territoires sonores aux frontières du rock expérimental, son objectif demeure clair : créer des liens avec son public par le biais d'accroches captivantes, de grooves irrésistibles et de mélodies mémorables.

daltonists is a polish experimental trio [genre: leftfield jam], whose name refers to color blindness, a congenital visual impairment. This flaw in human nature has become the band's idée fixe, their main inspiration and motivation for creating music. The musicians combine the colors of contemporary jazz, afrobeat, dub, African and club music.

Despite their short existence (June 2021), daltonists have become a sensation on the local scene, playing at several prestigious festivals in Poland, including Jazz Jantar, True Tone Festival, and OFF Festival. At the Crossroads Showcase Festival in Ostrava, they won a special award for the best band selected by music industry professionals, which resulted in invitations to further festivals in 2026/2027 (Sunfest and Ottawa Jazz in Canada, Colours of Ostrava in the Czech Republic, Jazz Fest in Brussels, and others).
The band's debut mini-album, entitled “daltonists,” was released on May 9, 2024, and its YouTube version went viral, garnering a huge number of positive comments from around the world. Their songs are often played by leading DJs on radio stations in Poland and Europe (Soweto Kinch – BBC 3, Tom Ravenscroft – BBC 6/RinseFM, Marcin Harper – Czwórka, Gosia Jakubowska – Trójka).

Their second album, “gradient,” was released in November 2025 by the British label Folded Music.

In the spring of 2025, a partially sold-out concert tour took place in Poland and Europe to promote the first album, and another tour promoting the second album is planned for spring/summer 2026 in Europe and Canada.

Band members:
Roman Wroblewski – synthesizers
Piotr “orz” Orzechowski – bass guitar
Jacek Rezner – drums

The whole thing sounds a bit like Todd Terje playing Bad Bad Not Good :)

RIPPLEGANGER est un duo composé de Maya Kuroki (Teke::Teke) au chant, au mouvement et à l’électronique, et de Rainer Wiens au kalimba et à la guitare préparée. Ils ont développé une forte popularité à Montréal grâce aux performances fascinantes et à la présence vocale de Maya, qui s’entrelace gracieusement avec les fantaisies rythmiques de Rainer au kalimba et ses explorations texturales à la guitare préparée. Maya est originaire du Japon où elle a étudié le théâtre, et Wiens a une formation en jazz et en musique improvisée. Ce qui les unit, c’est une approche intrépide de l’improvisation et un son original.
