RSVP: Dying, Living and Dreaming with John Mounsey – Film Screening and Talk

Tuesday 15th April 2025

Doors 19:30

Back in Spring 2022, I was researching ‘dreams of the dead’ and finding out ways to help people process grief. In pure synchronicity, local community activist and death doula, Mary Clear rings me up with a request. A death doula assists people in their last weeks of life, and part of this role includes assisting people in fulfilling their last wishes, John’s last wish was to make a film about his death.

So far two films have been made and there is a third on the way.

Wheeler is going to present these two films and ask the audience to be in them!

‘The Zen Art of Stone Squeezing’ (11mins) is about John’s life as a drystone waller and how he integrated Zen Buddhism and drystone walling to help him overcome addiction and has won awards all around the globe.

‘Dying, Living and Dreaming with John Mounsey’ (20mins) centres on a precognitive dream Mary’s neighbour had about John dancing in his own coffin.

This screening is on the 2nd anniversary of John’s community funeral.

Come and join us for an evening of dreams death and living your life to its fullest.

UPDATE: The venue has a limited capacity all seats have now been taken.

If you knew John, I really really want you to come so please do contact me and we’ll see if we can get you in.
