Minnesota Threshold Network January Meeting 2020

Minnesota Threshold Network January Meeting 2020

December 31, 1969

The next Minnesota Threshold Network Twin Cities meeting, "Working Respectfully with Trans and Nonbinary Communities," will take place on:

Tuesday, January 14, 2020, 7-9 PM
St. Peder's Lutheran Church
4600 E 42nd St
Minneapolis, MN 55406

Trangender and nonbinary people have existed for as long as human cultures have been creating genders, but some of the language and concepts may be new to you. Transgender and nonbinary individuals and communities may have different needs and face different challenges around end of life and after-death care than our cisgender peers. Join Minnesota Threshold Network on a journey through the wonderful world of trans and nonbinary terminology, current concerns, and what we in the deathcare field can do to ensure that our work respects this diverse and vibrant community.

Our guides on this exploration are:

•Root Holden, transgender podcaster and death educator
•Shannon TL Kearns, transgender playwright and theologian
•Eli Effinger-Weintraub, nonbinary MTN member and death radical

MTN facilitators: Eli Effinger-Weintraub and Anne Murphy

All Minnesota Threshold Network meetings are free and open to the public. Donations from the heart for space rental and printing materials are gladly accepted.
