    Grief & Tell

    Remember the days of Show & Tell in elementary school? That feeling of having the undivided attention of your classmates as you share something that mattered to you? We want to bring that feeling back. So often, grievers feel like they don't have the space to continue sharing about the person they've lost. It seems like the world has moved on, and it can feel isolating. We want to be in community with you. Here's how it works: This event is virtual, free, and open to everyone. That being said, you don't have to share if you don't want to. […]

    Drinks over Death

    B-Side lounge 2785 Euclid Heights Blvd,, Cleveland, OH, United States

    Drinks over Death is a FREE community event where all are welcome to talk about death, dying, and end-of-life. As a society, we're kind of rusty talking about the thing we all have in common (we ALL will die someday). Often, we don't always know where to go. Or who is willing to explore topics related to death and dying with us. It's for that reason that the Cleveland Death Society exists: so that we can take strides at practicing, normalizing, and exploring Death together. So come curious, lean in, and meet others in your community looking to have meaningful […]

    Self Altar Workshop

    Portland, Oregon friends! So very excited to share this offering with you in August. Join me at @memento.mori.cafe on Sunday, August 10th at 3pm for a Self Altar workshop exploring our mortality and most sacred possessions and earthly delights that we would want to display for our loved ones when our time comes to shed this mortal coil. Come share a space with others who are curious and interested in contemplating what would speak to others and create a space of comfort and presence in the wake of our physical absence after death. What to expect: we will discuss altars, […]

  • Fear of Death

    Virtual Event

    Thanatophobia is the fear of death. It can involve fear of the dying process (often a fear of pain or discomfort), fear of the afterlife (or lack thereof), fear of being forgotten, fear that life is meaningless, and fear of missing out! This month we will be talking about our fears around our own deaths, how we manage them, and how we don't! Queer Death Salon is a community space for all 2SLGBTQIA+ people to come together to discuss death, dying and grief. It is a facilitated drop-in discussion space, with the purpose of building connection, skill, and resources for […]

  • The Good Death Book Club Experience FREE 12-Month Death and Dying Course

    The Good Death Book Club Experience FREE 12-Month Death and Dying Course

    According to a recent AARP study, there are over 52 million caregivers in the United States right now—and 70% of them say they are overwhelmed. Every single day, I receive messages from current and former caregivers who say: “I wish I had this knowledge when I was caring for my loved one.” Or: “The Doulagivers training is helping me more than I can say.” The truth is: We will all have a caregiving story. Let’s make sure yours is one filled with support, empowerment, and peace. That’s why I created The GOOD DEATH BOOK CLUB Experience: Death and Dying Course—a […]

  • “It’s Complicated” Support Group

    “It’s Complicated” Support Group

    Virtual Event

    A monthly peer-led Zoom group for people who had a strained relationship with someone who’s died. It can be tough to be in a group with other folks who were close with their parent, sibling, grandparent, partner, co-parent, friend, etc. As much as I like for there to be a range of experiences represented in grief groups, so that we can hear diverse perspectives, sometimes it is nice to be with people who “get it.” When addiction, mental health challenges, conflict, estrangement, abuse, etc. were a part of the picture, it can affect the grief journey in unique ways. This […]

    “It’s Complicated” – Support Group

    Childfree By Choice & Grieving

    Virtual Event

    It’s not a given that everyone who is childfree by choice is 100%, unabashedly content with the decision. While we may be set in our choice, there can still be grief there. I know there is for me. It’s a both-and/two truths situation. Many of us make this choice for a lot of unfortunate, depressing, and/or systemic reasons, and I created this space where we can be with our truths, and hurts, around it all. Our monthly peer-led Zoom group is intended to be a space for people who have chosen not to have children. It is not intended to […]

  • Orlando Death Cafe

    Orange County Library South Trail Branch 4600 S Orange Blossom Trl, Orlando, FL, United States

    This group welcomes anyone who's interested in sharing thoughts and experiences on death and dying. We're just coming together to talk - it's as simple as that! As part of the nature of Death Cafes, there shouldn't be prompts/discussion guides, but if the group has trouble getting started, we can cheat with the Death Deck. ;) By law, every Death Cafe must have snacks (I'll bring cookies, mini cupcakes, etc.). To celebrate the first event, we'll have a raffle! Prizes are mainly pins and stickers. A few epitaph booklets & a tote as well. Please RSVP at Meetup.com/ODeathCollective and review […]
