About this Death Cafe
Ellen and Marion feel hosting a Death Cafe is a way to make a positive contribution to life in their communities. Both have found in their work and studies that talking about death is a deepening experience that connects people in a way that can be transcendent, comforting and life affirming all at the same time. And, they like to talk (and listen!) a lot. And, drink coffee. And, eat cake. And, kayak. Not all at the same time.
Ellen and Marion are very grateful to Schillaci Cafe & Espresso Bar for donating their space and staff time for the cafe after business hours.
