Join us for a relaxed, respectful, and agenda-free conversation about all things death, dying and end of life. A Death Café is a welcoming space where people of all backgrounds, beliefs, and experiences, gather to share thoughts, stories, fears, and curiosities about death. This is not grief counselling or therapy, but a chance to connect with others over a cuppa and explore one of life’s most universal (and often avoided) topics.Facilitated by experienced Death Doulas, Angela and Kelly, this conversation is guided, inclusive, and gently held. Come with your questions and curiosities.Angela Mizinska and Kelly McDonnell are Death Doulas with a shared passion for death literacy and community education.Together, they co-host in-person and virtual Death Cafés in collaboration with local councils and community groups, creating safe, inclusive spaces for open conversations about death, dying, end of life and grief. They also each host their own independent events, bringing diverse perspectives and a wealth of experience to their facilitation practice.With over 100 hours of combined experience, Angela and Kelly are dedicated to making death a little less taboo and a lot more human.<a href="https://proveda.com.au/community-programs/dying-to-know/" title="https://proveda.com.au/community-programs/dying-to-know/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Dying to Know Day</a> has been a national day of action, originally on August 8 extending throughout the month of August with hundreds of hosts around Australia holding gatherings aimed to normalise conversations about death, dying and grief, encouraging individuals to learn about, discuss, and plan for their own end-of-life, and to support others in doing the same.
