DEATH OVER DRINKS

Imagine a world where we could chat about death as easily as the weather, and where discussing end-of-life choices is considered great dinner conversation. We invite you to inhabit this world, if only for an afternoon. Pull up a chair, grab a drink, and join frank, essential, and joyful conversations about death and dying. Wander from table to table to meet a diverse lineup of experts and practitioners who navigate the realms of death and dying. This is a room full of spectacularly interesting people who have zero doubt that death is the most underrated conversation topic. From an independent funeral director and an end-of-life doula to a water cremation specialist, Tasmanian Aboriginal knowledge holders, and a human composting advocate, each table is a gateway into how different cultures and professions approach the ultimate human experience.

The event includes your first drink. Other beverages will be available for purchase.

Please note: This event is a casual, conversational gathering — not a grief counselling or support session. While the topic of death will be explored from many angles, including the personal and profound, attendees should not expect therapeutic or mental health support. If you're currently grieving or experiencing emotional distress, this event might not be suitable.
