September 27, 2022 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
An event every month that begins at 6:00 pm on day Fourth of the month, repeating until October 26, 2022
Discuss death, free of agenda or ideology, with a friendly group. Ages 16+
Free of agenda or ideology, the aim is to increase awareness of death to help people make the most of their (finite) lives. Not a grief support group, it is no more and no less than a friendly group discussing death. Facilitated by Cheryl Adcox RN, an End of Life Doula and experienced Death Café facilitator. Death Cafés are a growing international movement of people gathering together in a relaxed and safe setting to eat tasty treats, drink tea, and discuss death.
