Death Cafés, Workshops & Community Events

Death is one of life's few certainties, yet it's often one of the hardest things to talk about.

Through Death Cafés, workshops and community events, I create opportunities for people to come together and explore conversations about death, dying, grief, end-of-life planning and what it means to live well in the face of our mortality. These conversations are often thoughtful, surprising, moving and mostly, filled with laughter.

I facilitate both traditional Death Cafés and Death Café-style events. While some gatherings follow the internationally recognised Death Café model out of respect for Jon Underwood, others offer more flexibility through guided discussion, conversation prompts, education and interactive activities.

Events are available online worldwide and in person, creating opportunities for people to connect wherever they are.

I also design and facilitate bespoke workshops and events for councils, community organisations, workplaces, aged care providers, health services and community groups.

Whether you're curious, planning ahead, supporting someone you love or simply seeking a space where these conversations can happen openly, you're welcome.

Upcoming events can be found via Eventbrite or subscribe to my monthly newsletter to receive updates on What’s Happening in My Death Space.
