Death/Aliveness Cafe

Join Death Educator Sally Rousse for a mirthful discussion around a topic that should never be taboo. You’ll explore death through resource-sharing, writing, movement and imagine your own memorial. You may write a eulogy or obituary—fantasy, fiction or real. Or you may simply sit, listen and process.

RSVPs required. This event is free to the public, but attendance is capped at eight participants.

More details:

  • Modeled after the Death Cafés of Swiss sociologist and anthropologist Bernard Crettaz

  • Open discussion facilitated with curated readings and other resources that normalize talking about death

  • Brain Gym® exercises—simple, meridian-crossing movements, done sitting or standing, to activate blood flow to the
    brain (research shows how movement can improve people's relationships with death)

  • Imagine our own memorials, e.g., how we would like to be remembered, what elements would we like to include, etc.?

  • Explore green/eco- friendly body disposition options
