Compassionate Heart Series | Death Café

Join us for an open conversation on a topic that connects us all: death. Death Café, a globally recognized movement, offers a relaxed space to gather and talk honestly about our mortality and the end of life. There are no lectures, no agenda and no pressure to speak. Come with questions or just listen to the experiences of others. Please note that this is not a grief support group or counseling session, but a chance for community dialogue in a safe and judgment-free environment. All are welcome. Tea, coffee, and sweets will be provided.

Sat. November 15, 2025

5:30 p.m. — 7:00 p.m.
