Join death doulas on this cemetery walk to honor the dead and the living in this Samhain autumnal season. Cemeteries offer a peaceful environment for quiet thought and reflection.
We will practice mindful walking, while respectfully staying on paths, and avoiding loud conversations. We will have a little history about Oak Hill Cemetery, but please bring any information or history to the conversation. After a short walk with the remaining sun light, we will walk to a nearby community home for a Death Cafe.
A Death Cafe is a discussion group for folks to freely talk about death in a safe, confidential, and respectful environment, with the primary goal of increasing awareness of death to help people make the most of their lives.
Please feel free to bring anything to share; snacks, art, journaling, curiosities to engage with during the Death Cafe or just, an open mind. There will be light refreshments and snacks at the Death Cafe.
Please be sure to direct message or rsvp as "going" on this event so we can plan accordingly. We will provide the final address, closer to the event.
