About this Death Cafe

What a relief it is to talk with a room full of strangers about DEATH: the "Elephant in the living room." We have such lively conversations at our Death Cafe St Johns! Formally held at "St Johns Living Well," we have relocated to a private home in the wake of Living Well's closure at the end of March, 2015. Please RSVP as space is limited, and come join us!
