Death Cafe: Chicago Death Doula Collective
A Death Café is a group-directed discussion about all things around, between, and beyond death, dying, and grief.
A Death Café is a group-directed discussion over coffee, tea, and snacks. The objective is to practice the art of talking openly about our own mortality so as to make the most of our finite lives. Anyone of any age, background, spiritual belief (or lack thereof!) is welcome to attend as the results are enriched by the variety of participants. Let's break the taboo together.
PLEASE NOTE: If you would like to simply make a donation without attending the best way to do so is through our website at www.chicagodeathdoulacollective.com
