Death Cafe: An Open Conversation
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Private home in Berkeley
(see times)
Sunday, October 29, gather at 3:30, conversation 4:00-6:00pm
You are invited to tea, cake, and conversation at our Death Cafe. It is part of the international Death Cafe movement, which offers respectful and nonjudgmental places to talk about death. Hopefully these conversations will also help us to make the most of our finite lives.
We live in a culture that tries to deny old age and death. Death Cafes open the discussion and provide a safe space for us to share thoughts, feelings, concerns, fears, beliefs, and stories about death as a natural part of life.
The conversation will be agenda-free and will reflect participants' interests. There is often lots of laughter as well as a few tears.
Facilitators: Rabbi Bridget Wynne is the founder and director of Jewish Gateways. She believes in addressing rather than avoiding challenging aspects of life. Rabbi Bridget has many years of experience helping people to explore feelings and thoughts about, and support one another through, illness, death, and mourning. Aliyah Stein, MFT, is a Berkeley therapist for individuals, couples, and families for over 30 years.
All are welcome. Feel free to invite friends who may be interested. Please register soon, as space is limited.
We will gather at 3:30pm to get tea and cake and get settled, and will begin our conversation at 4:00pm. You are welcome to stay afterward for the sunset, which will be at 6:13pm.
