The School of American Thanatology celebrates its courses, events and happenings across 3 seasons each year—a winter, spring and autumn season. Instead of semesters or quarters, our seasons reflect a more natural rhythm which includes time for rest. The months of July, August and December are reserved for rest. In these months, no new courses or events will be offered. Rest is important, personally and professionally, and it is within rest that the lessons from education, experience, and community can really percolate.
