Come join Erin Quan, a death doula in Lethbridge, for a safe and respectful conversation about death and dying. Death Cafes provide a welcoming space for individuals (often strangers) to gather, enjoy tea and cake, and discuss the topic of death. These community-based discussions have no set agenda or theme and are group-directed. Despite the fact that death, dying, and grief are a part of everyone's life, people often avoid talking about it. Death Cafés aim to create a space where people can engage in these discussions freely, with the intention of fostering a more positive and fulfilling life. We welcome all opinions, stories, tears, jokes, and hopes. Join us for a chat about death and leave feeling a little bit lighter.

6:00–8:00 pm | adults and seniors | registration not required | free.
