Death Cafe

A place to gather and talk about everything mortality, death and dying. Community members gather to talk about everything from our own mortality and time on earth, to our experiences with death, ideas around death, what we want for ourselves or our community, and so much more! Prompts will be given but the only theme is death and dying. This event is geared towards those who are open to talking and engaging around the topic. This is not a grief and support group, but we may touch on the subject of grief at times.
