Death Cafe (Virtual)
Join us for a virtual Death Cafe - an evening of open, lively, and insightful discussion about death for adults aged 18 and older.
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.
Questions? Contact Daryl at dcabrol@cambridgema.gov.
