Can the way we treat our dead teach us about how we live?

In "From Here to Eternity - Travelling the World to Find the Good Death", Caitlin Doughty takes us on a journey through the world’s funeral traditions, exploring how different cultures honour their dead, care for their bodies and make sense of mortality.

From colourful celebrations to ancient rituals, this is a reminder that death isn't simply something to fear or hide away. It is also woven into how we love, remember, grieve and celebrate being alive.

A little macabre? Maybe.
Morbidly fascinating? Certainly!

We invite you to join us for a very special evening at Cornucopia Unit Four — a candle-lit gathering to remember, reflect, and honour those who have passed.

Hosted by Stuart Delves, this will be an opportunity to come together in a safe, intimate and welcoming space, surrounded by the gentle glow of candlelight, to share stories of those who have left their mark upon our lives.

There is no expectation to share, no need to find the perfect words. You are welcome simply to sit, listen, remember, and be present.

✨ Honouring the Dead
🕯️ Saturday 31st October | 7pm
📍 Cornucopia Unit Four , 4 Towerdykeside Hawick TD9 9EA

We look forward to welcoming you for an evening of warmth, remembrance and reflection.

From 23rd–25th October, Geopoetics invites us to explore the fascinating connections between the places we inhabit, the stories we tell, and the words through which we make sense of the world.

Here in the Scottish Borders, where landscape carries layers of history, and imagination, these conversations feel rather meaningful.

What does it mean to belong to a place? How does the land shape our stories, and how might poetry change the way we see the world around us?

Geopoetics opens up space for curiosity, reflection and new ways of thinking about our relationship with the world.
We look forward to this celebration of place, language and creative thoughts.

Today is Wee Read Day here in Scotland

A good excuse to stop for a moment and remember why we read in the first place...
We read to disappear into another world.
To meet people we could never meet in real life.
To understand something we didn’t understand yesterday.
To laugh, to grieve, to be surprised.
To find the exact words for something we’ve been feeling but couldn’t quite name.

"Wee" happily read at Cornucopia and we would love to see what you are reading at the moment. 🙂
