      <title>Curious Minds | After Death Care Options (Tuesday, November 17, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center" style="font-size: 16.0016px; background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font color="#FF8357" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;After Death Care Options&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Washington is one of the most advanced states in facilitating varied services for after-death &lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;care that differ substantially from traditional burial and cremation. One of the newer approaches is organic reduction (or terramation), a gentle process in which the remains are allowed to decompose, along with plants and soil In a specialized individual container, for approximately two months. The resulting material may be buried, scattered or otherwise respectfully disposed of.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Club members will visit the Return Home facility in Auburn to learn about the process, view the containers, and receive answers to questions and concerns. The guided visit should last approximately one hour, and a staff member of the &lt;a href="https://peoplesmemorial.org/" target="_blank"&gt;People’s Memorial Association&lt;/a&gt; https://peoplesmemorial.org/ will join us to provide information about the varied death-related options that organization offers its members. A group lunch will follow in a nearby restaurant TBD.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 16.0016px; background-color: transparent; line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#3598C1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Register Online:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Storytelling Salon (Tuesday, November 17, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center" style="font-size: 16.0016px; background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font color="#FF8357" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Storytelling Salon&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Storytelling Salon is an interest group for members to socialize and share stories with one another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;We generally meet on the fourth Tuesday of each month, except during the holiday season, opening with shared hors d’oeuvres and beverages and then moving into our stories. Whether you prefer to read your story or present it without notes, you’ll have just 5 minutes to share whatever your heart desires, including tales of lost love, wild times, and strange people! This is not about critique or competition; rather, our group thrives on respect, support and encouragement within a safe space. We offer optional prompts each month. November’s prompt is “Stuffing."&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During the winter months we often meet on Zoom. Occasionally, hybrid arrangements are made throughout the year when regular members are unable to attend in person because of health, travel, or work obligations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
