About this Death Cafe
The Fernwood Death Cafe is hosted by Karen Mittet of islandnarrativetherapy.ca held in the Fernwood Community Association Hall in Victoria, British Columbia.
The Fernwood Death Cafe brings together people who wish to discuss all topics related to death and dying. It is a brave space to dialogue over tea and sweet treats.
Karen opens the gathering by lighting a candle, honouring the First Nations people with a land acknowledgement, introduces the facilitators, and recognizes the history of the Death Cafe movement. She goes over the Death Cafe guidelines to ensure meaningful, thoughtful and respectful conversation.
Karen welcomes one and all to this valuable, thoughtful event :)
