About this Death Cafe

We believe there is a need for a safe space for people with chronic pain & chronic illness to come together over coffee, tea, and cake, for conversation about the only certainty in life - thanks to the Death Cafe movement, we have been inspired, and invited to cultivate one.

About Home Hospice Association & Death Positive Toronto

HOME HOSPICE GTA is dedicated to delivering hospice palliative care in a non-institutionalized environment where compassion and culturally sensitive human connection are hallmarks: for any one, of any age, at any time, and under any roof.

DEATH POSITIVE TORONTO: A community built by and for those in our city who choose to look at death-dying with curiosity, humour, and a brave commitment to knowing its realism. We approach our shared mortality with hearts and minds open, together desiring to learn more and to love deeply with what time we have.
