Come join us for our first event of the new year! We will be hosting a Death Cafe followed by free admission to Junkyard Golf 🧡

☕️ What is a Death Café?

An informal space where a small group meets to talk about death in an open and comfortable way. The conversation is guided by what the participants want to talk about. The aim is to help make us more comfortable discussing death, and to help us be more open when we may need to support ourselves, our friends or our family when death affects their lives. Come join us next week in our first Death Cafe of the year! This event is free and open to everyone.

💬What will happen?

We get together in a small group. A facilitator will start the conversation, and the discussion will flow freely from there, with the facilitator helping to move things along if needed. You won’t be pressured to contribute - you can talk as much or little as you like!

Death Cafés are, and have always been, run on a completely voluntary basis. If you want to know more, please visit https://deathcafe.com

Limited spaces available. DM us if you have any questions.
