EOL 101 Death Cafe ~ Online

Death Cafes are consciously curated containers that provide a safe space to share thoughts, fears, and questions as we explore social norms around death. It is a group-led discussion with no objective or agenda, and no intention of leading you to any conclusion or course of action.

If you’re curious, have experienced loss, or want to explore the reality of mortality, this event is for you.

Just so you know, this is a discussion group, not a grief support or counseling session.

The Death Cafe social franchise started in the United Kingdom in 2011. Since then, there have been 17,299 Death Cafes in 87 countries. Visit Death Cafe’s website to learn more about its mission and impact.

l am an End of Life (Death) Doula tending to the needs of the dying and supporting their families/caregivers. I'm also a community death educator and hospice volunteer.

I had the profound good fortune of being Mom's caregiver for 11 years and experiencing her death through my love-tinted glasses as natural, sacred, graceful, gentle, inevitable, and her final rite of passage.

Escorting my mom to the end of the earth changed me on a cellular level and my relationship with, and understanding of, death and dying were completely transformed. As a result, I am committed to amplifying constructive dialogues around death and dying because I believe that by sharing our knowledge and experiences we can help combat the pervasive negativity and death illiteracy that is so prevalent in our society.

Over the past three years, I have attended dozens of Death Cafes and I am always in awe of how the simple concept of tea, cake, and dialogue provides so much to so many. I believe that talking about death and dying can reduce fear and suffering so I host these conversations, under the Death Cafe banner, to pay it forward.
