Death Cafe

Drink coffee, eat cake, and talk about Death. Central Wyoming Hospice and the Nicolaysen Art Museum will be hosting a Death Café on Wednesday, November 1st at 5:30PM in correlation with The NIC’s Day of the Dead celebration. It’s an empowering conversation around death and dying, aimed at increasing awareness of and de-mystifying death to help people make the most of their adult lives. “It’s a space where you talk about death to become more engaged with life, “says Susan Burk, Community Liaison at CWHT. “Our society is much more removed from death than in the past,” says Burk. “The Death Café allows people to express their fears, hopes, and curiosity about death. You can also come and just listen. It’s not grief counseling, it’s an open and authentic discussion about death, and the conversations can go in some very interesting directions.” The Death Café will be 5:30pm Wednesday, Nov 1, in The NIC’s McMurry Gallery. It is free and open to everyone. Coffee, treats, and companionship are provided. Please bring your thoughts, attitudes, hopes, and fears concerning death.
