Join local death doulas Cecily Robertson and Alex Alatorre for a death cafe for members of the LGBTQIA+ community. With no set topics, themes, or questions, a death cafe is an opportunity for community members to engage in compassionate conversation around death and dying. The goal is to normalize talking about death and help each other live more fully.
Tea, cake, and cookies will be provided. Donations are accepted.
RSVP at https://deathcafe.com/deathcafe/25497/ or email Cecily at [email protected].
The Death Cafe model was developed by Jon Underwood and Sue Barsky Reid, based on the ideas of Bernard Crettaz. Lizzy Miles hosted the first US Death Cafe. Death Cafes are a discussion group, not a support group or counseling session. Learn more at deathcafe.com.
