What brings you to Death Cafe?
The opportunity to engage in engaging conversations with curious people, and to support increased comfort with topics that so many people avoid, is deeply rewarding. We welcome the opportunity to create a safe space for people from all backgrounds and interests - the diversity of participants creates such a rich conversation!
What would you like your legacy to be?
Our goal is to contribute to increased comfort with end-of-life conversations and to support greater emphasis on sustainable options. Even tiny success with that would be a wonderful legacy.
Thoughts for sharing:
Community support with end-of-life care and a focus on sustainable, environmental options is critical -- it's time to change the conversation. Be part of the change.

As usual, we had multiple countries and multiple provinces represented on our Death Café this month – with long time participants and some first timers in our Zoom Room. The diversity of views is wonderful.
As always, reasons for participating and topics for discussion cover a lot of territory.
