A Death Café is a place for people of all ages to discuss issues related to death and dying, while sharing a warm drink and a sweet snack.

The goal of this program, is to support each other in normalizing talk about death, which is such an important part of life. This free gathering is completely participant led; there is no agenda. We will take turns speaking thoughtfully and listening respectfully. Light refreshments will be served.
