About this Death Cafe

I’m hosting this Death Café because I’ve spent years sitting beside people at the edges of life — as a caregiver, an end-of-life doula, and a human who has watched how much quieter, heavier, and lonelier death becomes when we stop talking about it.

Death Café creates space for the conversations that often get postponed, softened, or avoided altogether. My intention is not to teach, fix, guide, or provide answers — but to hold a respectful container where people can speak freely, listen generously, and explore their own thoughts about death, dying, grief, and meaning.

This virtual gathering will be lightly facilitated to support flow, safety, and inclusion. There is no agenda and no expectation to share. You may speak, listen, reflect quietly, or simply sit with the conversation. Cameras are optional. Participation takes many forms, and all are welcome.

This event follows Death Café guidelines:

• No counseling or therapy

• No religious or political framing

• No selling or agenda-setting

• Conversation led by participants, not the facilitator

This Death Café is offered as a community service through Amicus Mortis, with gratitude to everyone who continues to support this work through presence, trust, and word-of-mouth. There are no corporate sponsors for this event — just people showing up for one another.

 

You are welcome exactly as you are.
