Death Cafe with Erin Bishop

​An open conversation about death, dying, and what it means to be alive.

​Join us for a Death Cafe: a group-directed, open conversation where people come together to explore death in a thoughtful, relaxed, and non-judgmental environment. With no set agenda, product, or conclusion, the space is designed for meaningful connection, shared reflection, and the joy that can come with death awareness. Expect deep conversation, a warm atmosphere, and yes—snacks.

​Facilitated by Erin Bishop, a certified End of Life Doula and founder of Nightsong Doulas, the session will include a mix of whole-group and small group discussions guided by participant interests. Whether you're curious, grieving, or simply open to exploring the inevitable, you're welcome here.

​What to Expect:

• ​Welcome + background

• ​Introductions and personal intentions

• ​Group-generated discussion topics
