Death Cafe

About this event

Join facilitators Kelly Sklare, CNM,FNP and Carrie Tatro, seminary drop-out and freelance writer (both newly minted INELDA-trained end-of-life doulas) for an open, lively, non-clinical discussion about all aspects of death and dying.

The Grief House is a welcoming space dedicated to our community's needs around end-of-life experiences. With that in mind, the objective of our Death Cafe is to increase awareness around death, with an eye toward helping people make the most of their finite lives.

What to Expect

Expect to sip tea, eat cake and talk about death. It's that simple. This will not be a lecture. There is no set agenda. There is no pre-determined theme. Rather than a grief support or counseling session, our Death Cafe will be a group-driven and group-directed discussion in a confidential space where Kelly and Carrie will meet you with basic curiosity as fellow humans navigating mortality. Arrive with your own curiosity and let's explore the single greatest mystery of life: death.

Important Note

Although we meet at The Grief House, please understand that the Death Cafe is NOT a bereavement support group. While grief and loss may come up in conversation, the focus of a Death Cafe is a broad philosophical, practical and personal dialogue about death itself.

Cost: This is a FREE event. (Donations accepted)
