A Death Cafe is an opportunity for people from all walks of life to gather, have a cuppa and discuss death in a relaxed setting.

The “D” word has been a taboo topic yet talking about Death can be one of the most eye-opening conversations you’ll ever have. A Death Cafe is an opportunity for people from all walks of life to gather, have a cuppa and discuss death in a relaxed, non-denominational setting. In normalising the topic of Death, it is possible to find freedom and a renewed sense of aliveness.We will make time and space to connect and discuss the end of life. Facilitated by Death Doula, Dina Smirnova, expect to discuss death in small groups with no agenda, objectives or themes. Your curiosity, willingness to share (or just listen) and presence are welcome. T﻿his session will be the first of a series of Death Cafe events. The next session will occur on 19 December.<a href="http://deathdoulamelbourne.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">F﻿or more information about Dina Smirnova</a><a href="https://deathcafe.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">F﻿or more information about the Death Cafes.</a>Please note :The purpose of the Death Cafe is to provide an accessible space for discussion, rather than grief support or counselling.
