Have you ever felt alone with thoughts around death and wanted to explore this topic with open-minded people?
Rebecca Illing 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.
Rebecca 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.
This event is run on a pay what you can basis, to ensure it is accessible and open to all. To help cover the costs and ensure we can continue offering events like this, we kindly ask for a minimum contribution of £5. Your contribution goes a long way in making this event a success. If you're able to give more, it would be greatly appreciated but most importantly we hope you can join us and enjoy the event

Rebecca Illing is a compassionate and dedicated death doula whose work centers on fostering open, meaningful conversations around death and dying within her community. With a deep commitment to shifting societal perspectives, Rebecca is passionate about addressing the alienation we often feel toward death and the tendency to engage with mortality only when it is too late.
Rebecca offers personalised, one-on-one sessions to clients seeking to explore their own lives, better understand their mortality, and prepare consciously for death. She also provides invaluable support to families and friends navigating illness and grief. Additionally, Rebecca leads bereavement retreats in Portugal and hosts the Death Cafe at The Hearth, offering a safe space for individuals to gather, share, and reflect on the many aspects of death and dying.
