About this Death Cafe
At DeathCafe 907 we meet virtually and in-person monthly to hold a sacred space for participants to share their experiences, concerns, fears and tears as it relates to all things death and dying. The discussions are non-scripted and organic. The environment is non-judgemental, non-biased, warm and welcoming. Our intention is to destigmatize the death conversation, empower and inspire a death positive atmosphere throughout our state.
