Death Cafe
Sunday 19 November, 2–4 pm 
We all will die, but death is a subject we often feel inhibited or fearful to talk about. Death Café offers a supportive space to share our thoughts and feelings about our own deaths and the death of those who are near to us in a spirit of compassion, acceptance and openness. All with a cup of tea and some cake!
The Death Café concept was invented in 2011 by Jon Underwood and Sue Barsky Reid, based on the ideas of Bernard Crettaz, and has since spread to 85 countries. Its object is ‘to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives’. It provides a forum for discussion rather than a grief support or counselling session. For more information, visit https://deathcafe.com.

It is not unknown for us to gather together in companionship around a shared meal. All are welcome to join us. (The one in the pictures was our Christmas meal – the funny hats aren’t some weird cult thing …)
