About the Event
The Last Ecstatic Days – Film Screening & Community Conversation
We warmly invite you to an evening of heartfelt reflection on our shared journey with death at the Heart and Soul Center of Light.
The Last Ecstatic Days is a tender and powerful documentary that follows the story of Ethan Sisser—a young man who faced his dying process with profound courage, grace, and vision.
Following the screening, stay for an in-person conversation with Dr. Aditi Sethi, founder of the Center for Conscious Living & Dying in Swannanoa, NC. Aditi accompanied Ethan through his final days, and that experience transformed her path from hospice physician to community-based end-of-life advocate.
She will be joined by others offering their wisdom and experience.
The evening will also be uplifted by live music from Roots Grown Deep—a world music trio featuring Joel Karabo Elliott, Jay Brown, and Aditi Sethi—whose soulful sounds weave reverence, celebration, and connection.
Entrance by donation (suggested $20–$50).Proceeds support YG2D Living/Dying Project, Heart & Soul, CCLD, and Roots Grown Deep.
