Death Cafe - Toronto West

Once again, we will be meeting online, using Zoom.

Be ready to begin at 7pm, with a brief history of Death Cafes around the world. Using breakout rooms, we will talk in small groups of 4-5 and share stories, ask questions, and ponder questions of life and death.

You can find out more details about this Death Cafe, as well as the global Death Cafe movement, at https://deathcafe.com/deathcafe/14376/.

If you're new to this idea of Death Cafe, consider checking out this podcast from Thursday, May 12, 2016 with CBC Radio 1 - The Current, on Death Cafes www.cbc.ca/radio/thecurrent/the-current-for-may-12-2016-1.3578623. The podcast includes an interview with Linda Hochstetler, Death Cafe facilitator, as well as Jon Underwood, the creator of the Death Cafe Movement who has since died, at the unseemly early age of 44.

A gentle reminder that a Death Cafe is not a bereavement or support group. If you are experiencing grief currently and need support there are organizations such as Bereaved Families of Ontario that can help you. For more information go to www.bereavedfamilies.net.

Please invite anyone else who may be interested, or bring a friend. RSVP is necessary to be let out of the Zoom Waiting Room. You will be sent the Zoom details 24 hours in advance of the gathering. Please ensure that your name on Zoom matches with your RSVP information.
