I hope you can join me for my next Death Cafés at Decatur Healing Arts Center. The objective of the Death Café is to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their finite lives. It is an open, respectful and confidential space where people can express their views safely. This is a time for discussing death without expectations. The Death Café is not affiliated with any spiritual or religious organization. Death Cafés have been held around the world as part of the "Good Death" movement since 2011. The Death Café is not a bereavement support or grief counseling setting. There are many outlets better set up for this. If you need support in this way please reach out and we can connect you with resources. Please come with an open heart and open mind. You can choose to share or not to share in the discussion. We welcome only compassionate, friendly conversation. Any disrespectful or unkind behavior will not tolerated. The topic of death can be heavy, so let's support each other to feel free to express ourselves and be open to listening to others views without judgement. This is a safe place to be able to laugh or cry and yes, even enjoy ourselves, though the conversation of death can at times be intense. We are asking for a small donation of $5 to help cover the cost of tea and cake, however no one will be turned away. We are blessed to be welcomed to host the event at Decatur Healing Arts Center and are excited to be able to support this wonderful venue.
