After the success of our three previous Death Cafés, we're back at it as part of the resuscitation of the Being Mortal series of talks and events.  We're calling this Being Mortal II.    As most of you will know, Death Cafés have become an international phenomenon, with literally thousands of them spontaneously occurring all across the globe and sparking interest among all age groups.  The cafés involve tea, cake and a safe, respectful space where you can feel comfortable sharing questions, curiosity, fears, beliefs and stories about any and all aspects of death:  grief, mourning and bereavement, end-of-life planning, metaphysical issues, exploration of new approaches – some of them quite progressive! – to helping us all confront it.  Humor and laughter are a hallmark of these gatherings.  They are anything but depressing!  Register online and the ZoomRoom link will be provided by email shortly before the event.  

Jim Van Buskirk has been co-hosting Death Cafes for over five years, during which time he has also been compiling an annotated bibliography of books and films dealing with death and dying. 

Annie Dorsey has a Master’s degree in Gerontology and was a hospice volunteer for 11 years.
