Death Over Dinner at The Optimist Cafe

No, this isn’t a Murder Mystery Dinner! 🙂 But read on, and you’ll find you’re in for a memorable experience.

As an end-of-life doula and death educator, it is my mission to help break the taboo around conversations about death. There is a group of healthcare and wellness leaders who are working to do the same. Their project “Let’s Have Dinner and Talk About Death” has rapidly inspired a growing community of people to talk about an often-not-discussed topic: death and dying. As the opening statement on their website notes,

“How we want to die represents the most important and costly conversation America isn’t having.”

Join Chef Keith Herrick and me at The Optimist Cafe for a lovely dinner and take part in this conversation together. Talking about death and dying might seem like one of the more challenging conversations we can have. Yet it can be one of the most liberating and very human conversations, where we consider what we want, both in life and during its close. Let’s talk about it so we can lean into any fears we might have and build deeper connections.
