Death Cafe
Have you ever felt alone with thoughts around death and wanted to explore this topic with open-minded people?
Mourning Projects and the Hearth are running a Death Café, which is a group directed discussion where people can talk about death, find meaning, ask questions and reflect on what’s important. We will welcome you to the space with cake, tea, warmth, and curiosity.
Mourning Projects aims to create a space where you can acknowledge life, what you have lost, and everything in-between. Death and grief often remain overlooked, shrouded in uncertainty and fear. The reality is that death makes life whole. We have created an experiential project with various entry points where you can contemplate your relationship with death.
The Death Café is run on a donation basis, with all contributions helping to cover the facilitator’s time, venue costs, and staffing—ensuring we can continue offering these invaluable conversations to a broad and accessible audience. If you’re able, we kindly suggest a minimum donation of £5 to support the sustainability of these events.
Rebecca Illing
Death Doula & Trainee Psychotherapist
The space will be facilitated by Rebecca, a death doula and a trainee psychotherapist who works as a bereavement counsellor in a hospice. We are a partnership founded in a shared belief in the importance of talking about dying. Mourning Projects was created to give people a space to welcome death in and explore it's meanings and manifestations.
