A Timely Conversation About Returning to the Earth
Local nonprofit Midcoast Maine Green Burial will host a free screening of the film “A Will for the Woods,” along with a panel discussion and silent auction, from 2 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, September 12, in the theater at the RIley School, located at 73 Warrenton St. in Rockport. All are welcome.
The award-winning documentary “A Will for the Woods” follows musician, psychiatrist, and folk dancer Clark Wang as he prepares for his own green burial while battling lymphoma. With poignancy and unexpected humor, the film portrays one man’s dream of leaving a legacy in harmony with timeless cycles—and one community’s role in a revolutionary movement toward sustainable death care.
The silent auction, which will open on August 30, will feature items such as a six-day stay at Morse Mountain Farm House, a lunch and sail on Penobscot Bay, Camden International Film Festival (CIFF) tickets, services, food, a handcrafted coffin, and more. To participate, visit tinyurl.com/mrh6ujt4
