What do you want your death to look like?

Wednesday, July 30th at 3pm-4:30pm at Enchanted Forest Reiki Center, Spiritual Items 'n More.

Bring a friend, your SO, your dad, or your sister. Or...come alone and connect with other like-minded individuals. 😊

Have the conversation, say the hard things, share on an intimate level.

Be transparent. Be vulnerable.

Stand in your power. 🔥

Since its inception 2 and 1/2 yrs ago, Death Café Las Vegas has facilitated over 45 death cafés and has served over 235 humans.

❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣💀🍰☕

My goal is to hold Death Cafés in these spaces:

- Veterans
- Business
- Nurses & Physicians
- Senior Living
- Charter Schools
- Men's Groups

If you are wanting to create a safe, loving container for your group, or if you have questions, please DM me. We can meet in person for a cuppa coffee to discuss, if you'd like!

You provide the space, chairs (for differently-abled bodies; not everyone can sit on the floor), and an open mind / heart.

There is no cost to hold these cafés. Ideal group size is 8-14 people.

Let me introduce you to Enchanted Forest Reiki Center, Spiritual Items 'n More.

This is the beautiful, healing space where Death Café Las Vegas holds its monthly death cafés.

If you live in Vegas, then you know about Enchanted Forest. If you are new to Vegas or have never been here, please stop by. You will not be disappointed. In fact, you'll wonder why you hadn't been here before. ❣💀🍰☕

Hi All! I just wanted to take a moment to welcome the new followers. Welcome!!!

Death Café Las Vegas is not a "me thing."

Yes, it fills my souls to bring like-minded individuals together to discuss life's most defining moments. Yes, I feed on learning people's stories, thoughts, and beliefs. And yes, I especially love when folks feel safe enough to divulge their deepest fear or grief.

I am also entertained by the dark humor they sometimes bring!

That being said, this is not the reason I created Death Café Las Vegas.

Back in the day (yes, I just said that), folks didn't talk about things like s*x or cancer. I remember my elders whispering the "C" word or that someone's son was gay. It's the same thing now surrounding death. People are afraid to discuss, plan, or question death and dying for many reasons:

- talking about will make it come sooner
- people will think I'm weak for being afraid
- I'll just "tough it out" when the time comes
- my family knows what I want, no need to write it down
- I'm young, I'll think about it later

And more.

I had a wonderful conversation with a dear friend today and she said "What we fear in death is what we fear in life." Facing what we fear about death and dying is a powerful catalyst for living a full, enjoyable life! This is the "Why" behind these cafés.

Please, join the conversation. Bring a friend. Live joyfully.

This Wednesday at 3pm-4:30pm!
(Photo is the lovely space where our café takes place.)

Are you afraid of death?
Are you curious about what happens to us after we die?
What does it mean to you to leave a legacy?
Have you ever seen a person take their last breath? How did that impact you?

These are just some of the topics we discuss here at Death Café Las Vegas. There are no themes or subjects - conversations organically blossom!

(And, yes, you don't have to share. Just listening is welcomed.)

During our 90 minutes together, there may be a tear or two but there's also plenty of smiles and laughter. And life-affirming cake. There's always cake!

Please join our community. Share this event with your Vegas friends. Bring your Mom, your neighbor, your bestie!
