Come talk about life and death over coffee, tea, and goodies.

We adopt the European "salon" model of Death Café: free-flowing conversation around the topic of death-from-any-angle. Openness is the only pre-requisite. Typically we break out into smaller groups of 4-5 people to keep the conversations intimate.

Our chosen professions: Rachel is pioneering technology in funeral planning. She started and manages I'm Sorry to Hear (http://www.imsorrytohear.com), the TripAdvisor of funeral planning, with the goals of simplifying decision-making in funeral planning, driving transparency in funeral planning, and encouraging sharing of experiences amongst the community (Rating and Reviews of funeral establishments).

Simcha is a death awareness educator and a bereavement counselor. He is the Director of DA'AT Institute (http://www.daatinstitute.net) for Death Awareness, Advocacy and Training.

Together we want to give you the opportunity to talk about life's "heavy stuff" and explore your own notions on death and life.
