Conference Overview
The 32nd Cultural Talk invites us to think about death not only as an ending, but as a lens for living with more clarity. The theme, Death! Empty Your Bucket, asks what we may need to release when a full life is not about adding more, but about carrying less.
With Dr. George F. Simons, the session will explore bucket lists, relationships, expectations, regrets, unfinished business, and the cultural beliefs that shape ideas of a good life. It will be a reflective conversation about how we live, what we hold on to, and what we might choose to let go.
