Have an open conversation about death, dying, and what it means to live well. We'll share tea and cake in a welcoming, judgment-free space.

Death Cafes are informal gatherings that provide a supportive setting for adults to come together and share thoughts, experiences, and questions about mortality.

Whether you're curious about death, grieving, or simply wish to normalize the topic. Everyone is welcome.

Jill-LeighAnn Justice, a certified Death Doula, will facilitate this honest and open conversation over tea and cake.
