Kira sought meaningful secular work not attached to any one religious or spiritual tradition. Through Hospice and theatre, Kira embraced the wildness of compassion and justice in her own sacred engagement of the universe. Kira is the author and solo performer of “Koans at the end of life,” telling many stories that allow us to witness the mysteries of living and dying, to be taught by them and learn from them. This show airs from 10AM to Noon, Sunday, December 7 on WRFI 88.1FM Ithaca, 89.7FM across the southern Finger Lakes, and streams at wrfi.org.
Performances of “Koans at the End of Life: A Hospice Worker’s Story” are December 7 and 14, at 1PM and 4PM each day, at the Word of Mouth Catering Event Space, 37 West Main St, Trumansburg. $20 tickets. Space is limited. Tickets available on Eventbrite:
