Death Café & Free Writing Evening

Come join a cozy, calm evening of sharing as we create a safe space for feelings and questions on grief, death, and dying. This event will revolve around group-lead discussion, followed by individual free writing, and will close with a guided meditation.

We will gather in the upstairs of East Café, which is the door to the right of the main café space. Please BYO pen/pencil + paper/journal! The café will be open till 7:00pm to order from, but complimentery tea will be available upstairs!

All participants are called to expect both heavy and lighter conversational topics, and to come with an open heart and mind.

This is event is by donation, and all donations go towards helping fund the event:D

What is a death café?

Death cafés are casual conversational evenings for people to come together and discuss the many facets of life and death. It’s a beautiful way to connect with others and have open discussions about death and dying, topics so often deemed as taboo in North American culture.

What is free writing?

Free writing is a writing exercise where one writes continuously for a set amount of time, no editing, no stopping, no worries about spelling or grammar—just getting those thoughts down! This is a great opportunity to get some journaling in and will be used as a personal moment for each of us to reflect on feelings and thoughts following our conversation.

Accessability Info: This space is only accessible through a flight of stairs. If you find yourself with any accessability concerns, please reach out to me directly.
