Due Date: A Library Death Salon makes its triumphant return! What to do when a loved one dies but their belongings remain? On January 22, join writer and death doula Becky Robison at new location Nook & Nowhere to talk strategies for protecting your heart and staying sane while getting rid of all that stuff.
Death is so taboo in our society that many of us refuse to even think about it, much less talk about it. Let’s change that – let’s talk about death! And what better way to do that than over cake and tea?
The South Side Death Cafe is held the fourth Wednesday of the month at St Kilda Library, Victoria Australia. Alternating between 2-4pm and 5:30 - 7:30pm. Come for the death talk, stay for the snacks. This is an inclusive, open conversation about death and end of life but is not a bereavement or counselling session. Facilitated by Funeral Celebrant Klara McMurray (aka The Funky Celebrant), there are lots of giggles, deep chats and conversations that have been known to change lives. After all, talking about it won’t kill you!
The Lotus Center Death Cafe is open to the public and typically consists of an agenda-free discussion of death . Our objective will be to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives. Dinner will be served. All ages welcome. This is a safe, judgement-free, no-fixing zone. Every belief is welcome.
Come meet others in the field, ask questions, find support and make new connections. This meet-up is for trained EOL doulas, whether seasoned or at the beginning stages of apprenticeship or practice. We believe you’ll find encouragement and wisdom by being in the room together. We invite informal conversation in a beautiful space with folks who are doing the work! We meet every two months and always have a great mix of new people and regulars. Join us for a relaxed yet focused time together. Hope to see you!
Chicago! To celebrate the launch of my new book, My Parents Are Dead: What Now? A Panic-Free Guide to the Practicalities of Death, join me at Women & Children First for a discussion and book signing with death doula (and absolute delight) Erica Reid Gerdes.
A Death Cafe is a sacred space where we can start feeling comfortable enough to share our thoughts, and our feelings about death... and life. My name is Noelia, I was the first person facilitating Death Cafe in Málaga (Spain), and this wonderful adventure started July 2020. If you are around this part of the world, can understand Spanish and feel like meeting an amazing bunch of people... you're welcome!
In summer 2025, I was in Benin and went to my paternal grandmother’s grave, visiting it for the first time since she died some years ago. Her grave is not just a stone in the ground of a cemetery, but a room within her family’s house, a place where life continues to unfold with death resting beneath us. With my brother, my aunt and my grand mothers’s siblings, we settled in the room, removed the dust, sat, chatted and performed rituals and prayers for her soul to continue resting in peace and wisdom. There, in the presence of her spirit, […]
