Death Café – Open Conversation on Life and Death

Chattanooga Library 1001 Broad St, Chattanooga, TN, United States

Join us for an open, judgment-free conversation about death, dying, and everything in between at our next Death Café.

Whether you're processing personal experiences, curious about end-of-life matters, or simply wish to listen, you're welcome here. Come when you can, stay as long as you'd […]

Bring any portable craft project—knitting, embroidery, mending, sketching—and join us as we stitch and share. No experience necessary, just an openness to authentic connection. Light refreshments provided to nourish both body and conversation.
