We arrive at Winter Solstice, the longest night and shortest day of the year. In a season when many of us feel the weight of less light and, at times, the heaviness of depression.

This is the season of darkness - the days are getting shorter. We are invited into the quiet of the dark.

The Invitation of Mortality presented by Brad Ruggles

The Stage at C3 ·

2025/11/09

Memento mori—Latin for “remember that you must die”—may sound grim, but this ancient Stoic reminder is really an invitation to live more deeply by remembering our mortality. Death is not the opposite of life but part of it. When we face our impermanence with honesty and curiosity, fear begins to soften, gratitude deepens, and life itself grows more vivid.
