Death Cafe comes to Putney on January 21, 2023!
1 pm – 3 pm
Putney Friends Meeting, 17 Bellows Falls Road, Putney
Come join curious and like-minded folks to talk about death while enjoying tea, coffee, and snacks! Our objective is ‘to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives’. A Death Cafe is a group-directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes.
Coffee, tea, and snacks provided. Feel free to bring something to share.
Facilitated by Hospice staff members Ruth Nangeroni and Denise Glover
Donations are gratefully accepted and will go to Putney Friends for the use of the space.
Please RSVP by Monday, January 16th by emailing info@brattleborohospice.org or call 802 257-0775.
We hope to see you there!
Death Café (www.deathcafe.com) is an international movement started in Europe dedicated to taking death out of the closet and discussing it publicly. Participants report Death Café experiences as comfortable, with a full range of emotions – from tears to raucous laughter, easier than anticipated, energy-charged, inspirational, and fun. Not a support group or counseling session, or even a workshop … simply people sharing respectful, thought provoking, life affirming conversation in a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere while sipping drinks and munching treats.
Brattleboro Area Hospice held the first Death Café in Vermont in 2013, and through the years we’ve had a number of cafes in Windham County. We’re excited to once again have this gathering in-person.Contact info@
