A Timely Conversation About Returning to the Earth

In an age of mounting environmental concerns and disconnection from natural cycles, Midcoast Maine Green Burial sponsors the following event: a documentary film, panel, and silent auction—featuring the powerful film A Will for the Woods. This thoughtful gathering invites our community to explore one of life's most profound conversations: how we say goodbye to those we love, and what impact those final choices have on the world we leave behind.

Green burial represents far more than a simple alternative to conventional practices. It embodies a philosophy of returning to the earth with intention, dignity, and respect for the land that sustains us. As we grapple with climate change, habitat loss, and the need for sustainable practices in every aspect of our lives, it only makes sense to extend that consciousness to our final chapter.

Why This Matters Now

A Will for the Woods promises to illuminate what many may not yet understand about green burial options—the science, the ethics, the beauty, and the practicality. For those who have never considered such alternatives, it's an educational opportunity that combines compelling storytelling with meaningful insight. For those already committed to sustainable living, it's a natural extension of values held dear throughout life.

The panel discussion that follows will create space for a dialogue with experts and practitioners, allowing attendees to ask questions, voice concerns, and learn from real experience. This is community conversation at its most essential—honest, open, and focused on serving one another's deepest needs.

Supporting Vision Through Action

The silent auction adds another vital dimension. Beyond the film and discussion, this event raises support for the work of green burial advocacy and education. Every bid, every purchase, becomes an investment in expanding access to these choices and promoting the environmental stewardship our region needs.

Our Invitation

Whether you've been considering green burial as a personal choice, are curious about what it entails, or simply want to support meaningful community education, this event welcomes you. Watch A Will for the Woods. Listen to the panel. Place a bid. Most importantly, join a conversation that honors both the land we love and the legacy we leave.

In the words the green burial movement embodies: We came from the earth. We return to it. And in doing so, we complete a beautiful circle.
