9/29 – 10/27 A five-week, in-person transformative experience and practical planning tool. We’ll explore the physical, spiritual, emotional, practical, and legacy dimensions of the end of life through reflection questions, articles, presentation, videos, and conversation. The result is concrete steps that will let you move forward with what matters most to you.
The class is for people of all ages and stages. It can be helpful if you or loved ones are nearing the end of life, if you have things you “know you need to do” but aren’t getting around to – or if you simply want to learn more about this universal experience.

In 2020, moved by the sense of death and loss at multiple levels, educator Diane Hullet launched Best Life Best Death to work as a death doula and end-of-life educator.
A teacher for 30+ years, she brings passion and creativity to the evocative subjects of mortality, end of life, and death.

If you’ve ever stood at the trash / recycle / compost bins in utter confusion, this discussion is for you!

We can and must do better!

The guidelines are ever changing and evolving so it’s important for each of us to stay informed and up to date.

9:00am Sunday Service: Rev. Christopher Watkins Lamb
2025-10-26 09:00 - 10:00 (America/Denver) | Unitarian Universalist Church of Boulder
Guest speaker Rev. Christopher Watkins Lamb on coming alive.
Have you felt those moments when the natural world shifts into a shimmering, wondrous focus? For most of us, these moments of coming alive, of being fully in our animal body, are few and far between. We can forget that we are participants in the larger drama of our ecosystem. What if coming back into a relationship with the earth requires us to be in our bodies in a profoundly different way? What if being in our animal bodies, deeply engaged with our senses, is the key to belonging and the antidote to the world’s woes?

Christopher (they/them) is an eco-chaplain, song-leader, and spiritual care practitioner in Fort Collins, CO. They currently serve as Chaplain Supervisor at Poudre Valley hospital, providing multi-faith and belief spiritual care to staff, patients and families. Their ministry is focused on somatic soul care in service to ecological community.
