9/29 – 10/27 A five-week, in-person transformative experience and practical planning tool.

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.

2025-10-19 12:15 - 13:00 (America/Denver) | Unitarian Universalist Church of Boulder
If you’ve ever stood at the trash / recycle / compost bins in utter confusion, this discussion is for you!
We all try to do our best, but mistakes happen that requires someone roll up their sleeves to manually sort through the recycle and compost bins, or, worse, the whole thing winds up in the trash.
We can and must do better!
Your Climate Action Ministry has invited Lex Shannon from EcoCycle to do a short presentation on the current guidelines for Recycling, Composting, and Trash. The guidelines are ever changing and evolving so it’s important for each of us to stay informed and up to date. This is especially important for those who handle events and are unsure where to put the waste.
In the Emerson Room.
