Death Café

Death Café

Secret Lantern SocietyVancouver, BC
Monday, Mar 23 from 6 pm to 8 pm
Overview

A space for community-making in listening and sharing about loss and change; a space for curiosities, experiences, and anxieties.

Through group-lead discussion, this event creates the opportunity to hold eachother in care around our experiences, curiosities, ideas and challenges with loss, change, and death. It is a free-flowing, open and dynamic space, rooted in community connection; it is a space for laughter and a space for tears.


What is a Death Café?

Emerging from London in 2011, Death Cafés use food, conversation and community as a means to challenge how taboo death and discussion of death have become. While these are the roots of the Death Café, how this manifests is unique and adaptive.


Note: This is not and is not meant to be a substitute for grief or berevement counselling. That being said, discussion of grief can arise, naturally. As we cater this space to the dynamic emotions and challenges we experience in our modern world, a soft reminder that all types of grief and loss are valid. While human-to-human loss is often where the mind first lands, topics such as ancestral grief, ecological grief, pet grief, anticipatory grief, relational grief, etc., may also resonate with you.


Come with an open heart and mind<3


Please arrive for 6!

Tea and snacks will be available!
