About this Death Cafe
Join us and converse as a way of coming together to have an authentic conversation about the one thing we ALL have in common - our mortality! We want to help transform our relationship to aging, mortality, dying and death, so we may transform also the way we live, one conversation at a time. The event will be run in a circle format. This is not a group therapy session or support group, there is no cross talk or advice giving. Cake and tea will be served. RSVP to Lydia.Manning@cuchicago.edu
