Let's talk about death! Join Lindsay Kafka, a registered nurse and former lawyer with a background in hospice & long-term care nursing, as well as elder law, for this participant-led conversation designed to nurture a positive and curious relationship with death, dying & mortality, and connection with each other. The primary objective is to increase awareness of death, enabling us to live more authentically and make the most of our finite lives. Sweet treats and beverages will be provided. This event is FREE and OPEN TO ALL.
The Death Cafe movement was first conceived by Bernard Crettaz, a Swiss sociologist and anthropologist, who organized the first "cafe mortel" in 2004. Subsequently, a British web developer, Jon Underwood, refined Crettaz's ideas and developed the death café model, hosting the first death café in his own home in 2011. Death cafés are meant to crack open the taboos, secrecy, and fear that surround death in our culture. Since 2011, thousands of death cafes have been held all around the world.
