What we’re about
Welcome to the Santa Barbara End of Life Community, a welcoming and sacred space dedicated to fostering open conversations about the end of life, embracing grief, and de-stigmatizing death. All are welcome, as death affects us all, and it is never too early to start cultivating a relationship with our mortality. Hosted by Daniel Polk, an end of life doula and grief coach, our group offers a variety of gatherings to support you on this important journey. We regularly host Death Cafes, providing a relaxed and agenda-free setting to discuss death and dying. Additionally, our Death Salons feature informative speakers and presentations on diverse aspects of end-of-life care. We also offer compassionate grief circles and meaningful rituals to honor loss and find connection. Join our community to learn about available resources, share experiences, and find solace in a supportive environment.
