Join us for an exclusive film screening of "The Last Ecstatic Days," a profound exploration of life, death, and community, followed by a curated conversation with Courtney Smith, director of operations at the Center for Conscious Living and Dying.
About the Film
Honoring Ethan's wish, his doctor Aditi Sethi transports him to an idyllic house in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, North Carolina. What unfolds next is a story rarely glimpsed: how a community of strangers helps a young man die with grace.
A sensory immersion into leaving the body, “The Last Ecstatic Days” reveals a man who will not let us forget him – even after he’s taken his final breath.
