Join other adults, 18 and older, for Cambridge's virtual Death Cafe - an evening of open, lively, and insightful discussion about death.
While not a support group nor a venue for bereavement, a Death Cafe seeks to provide an unscripted, non-judgmental platform for those wishing to explore the many facets of this often taboo subject. Facilitated by Richard Davis a long time Death Cafe organizer and hospice volunteer.
Come with an open mind, a healthy curiosity, and a willingness to share your thoughts, feelings, and questions with other like-minded individuals.
This is a virtual event on Zoom. Space is limited.
