Dying, living and Dreaming with John Mounsey - Film Screening and talk by Harry Wheeler

Back in Spring 2022 Harry Wheeler, filmmaker and DreamWorker was researching 'dreams of the dead’ and finding out ways to help people process grief. In pure synchronicity, local community activist and death doula, Mary Clear rings Harry up with a request. A death doula assists people in their last weeks of life, and part of this role includes assisting people in fulfilling their last wishes, John’s last wish was to make a film about his death.
So far two films have been made and there is a third on the way.
Wheeler is going to present these two films and ask the audience to be in them!
‘The Zen Art of Stone Squeezing’ (11mins) is about John’s life as a drystone waller and how he integrated Zen Buddhism and drystone walling to help him overcome addiction.
‘Dying, Living and Dreaming with John Mounsey’ (20mins) centres on a precognitive dream Mary’s neighbour had about John dancing in his own coffin.
Come and join us for an evening of dreams death and living your life to its fullest.
