Death Cafe

Death Cafe at the West Tisbury Library:

This gathering of Vineyard residents will provide a comfortable atmosphere in which to share a respectful, thought-provoking, and life-affirming conversation on the topics of death, dying, and bereavement. The objective is to increase awareness with a view to lessening the fear of death while enhancing life. This is a group-directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes, nor affiliated religious organization. Traditionally, cake is served at in-person Death Cafés, so we will serve one from the Black Dog Cafe’! This event is free and open to the public.

Hosted by Heather Massey, facilitator and co-founder of Massachusetts’ first Death Café, and Island Death Cafe facilitator Joyce Maxner.
