SUMMARY:Death Café
LOCATION:Windmill Library
DESCRIPTION:A Death Café is a welcoming community gathering where people—of
 ten complete strangers—come together over tea and cake to have open\, hone
 st conversations about death. The purpose is simple: to increase awareness
  of death so we can make the most of our finite lives.\n\nA Death Café is 
 not grief therapy\, counseling\, or a support group. It has no agenda\, no
  objectives to accomplish\, and no predetermined themes. Instead\, it is a
  participant-led discussion where everyone is invited to share\, listen\, 
 and explore whatever arises in a safe\, respectful environment.\n\nOver th
 e next 90 minutes\, stories are shared\, questions are explored\, perspect
 ives are broadened\, and meaningful connections are made. While tears are 
 certainly welcome\, so is laughter. Participants often discover that talki
 ng about death is not depressing—it is deeply human\, surprisingly life-af
 firming\, and often filled with moments of humor\, compassion\, and hope.\
 n\nEvery Death Café reminds us that when we create space to talk about dea
 th without fear or judgment\, we also create space to live more intentiona
 lly\, love more deeply\, and build stronger\, more compassionate communiti
 es.\n\nLearn more about Death Café: https://deathcafe.com/\n\nRegistration
