Publisher description:
Thinking deeply about your death –whether it’s imminent or not– will breathe wild new potential into your life.
Warm, generous and funny, Alua Arthur is a death doula supporting people at the end of their life. What emerges in these tender moments is the unfinished business of life, when enduring regrets, secret loves and simple pleasures are uttered aloud, in resignation or delight.
Weaving together these vivid experiences along with her own personal life path full of wonder, Briefly Perfectly Human is a soul-gathering memoir. Alua’s intimate storytelling, compassion and wisdom are a beacon of comfort to us all as well as a tour de force appeal to cherish every part of who we are, including our own mortality.
‘Hold that truth in your mind,’ Alua says, ‘and wondrous things will begin to grow around it.’

This meeting will be facilitated by a full-time Life Coach (me!) and former university educator with over a decade of international experience in facilitating groups from various cultural backgrounds and beliefs. We insist on respectful and inclusive interactions! 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈✊🏽 We’re also not into ‘positive vibes only’–we want real and raw discussion, so we welcome ALL the vibes. It’s more fun that way 😁.
Wanna suss me out ahead of time to see if we’ll ‘gel’? Then feel free to have a snoop here ☺:

At this meetup, we will discuss Arthur’s insights on how to live with ‘the end’ in mind and how they may (or may not) relate to our lives. Do you agree with her perspectives? Do you disagree? Either way, we WANT your insights 😁
Any questions? Just ask! Looking forward to seeing everyone.
