We're delighted to hold this sacred space for individuals to meet and respectfully share their thoughts (about all things death and dying) without advisement or judgement. Attendees are empowered to take the necessary self- determined steps to both live and die well.

Please join us at the Spencerport NY, Death Café for open conversations on death and dying, and together we will create a safe and supportive environment to explore and ask questions with no set agenda, outcomes or themes. Please note that this is a discussion and not a grief support group, although we acknowledge that grief may arise for some as we discuss topics that sometimes touch us deeply.

There were five of us in attendance this month, and, to quote one of the attendees, it felt like a ‘meeting of like-minded people’. Right away during introductions, a seed was planted which would shape the discussions throughout the café: How do we stay in the moment? How do we slow down and appreciate what we have? Especially with the consideration that we could die at any moment.
With this question to consider, we also discussed what we need to have in place – a living will, for sure, and power of attorney, but also what conversations do we need to have with our loved ones ...

Death Cafe write up: Portland, OR Thursday Evening Death Cafe
Posted by nomenoyou1 on Jan. 9, 2026, 4:12 p.m.
We had 14 people at this Death Cafe, our largest Thursday evening turnout in several months. The Peace House fireplace was lovely and comforting. Linda facilitated one group and David facilitated another. One table discussed the role of a death doula, the uncertainty of life, the challenges of deciding how much to involve children when a grandparent or parent is dying, how a child's experience with death at a young age can affect them decades later -- among other topics. As always, tea, cake (chocolate), gluten free vegan cookies and other treats were served.
