Death Café: A Group Discussion About Death
Death Café: A Group Discussion About Death.
Join us for an open and relaxed discussion about death and dying, as we shift the conversation from one of fear and avoidance to that of familiarity, comfort, and consciousness.
This session will be led by Be McCarthy, a death-care educator and facilitator who brings a compassionate, thoughtful approach to conversations about death, dying, and end-of-life care. Be creates welcoming spaces where people can explore these topics openly, ask questions, share experiences, and consider how we can better prepare for and support the realities of death and dying. Their work encourages meaningful conversations that can help make death care more personal, informed, and accessible.
This is a discussion group rather than a grief support group, with no intention of leading participants to any conclusion, product, or course of action. Please note, we are now meeting on Monday evenings. Refreshments will be served. Limited space. Please register below.
