Wendy & guests at Calgary's First Death Cafe |
Enjoy an afternoon of conversation about all things related to death, dying and grief. Share coffee/tea and homemade cake while you discuss a range of topics with others in small groups.
Sunday, June 9
2 to 5 PM
Nexen Living Room, Sage Center
1245 70 Avenue S.E ( Hospice Calgary Outreach Center)
(Please note : Although Hospice Calgary has generously provided the space for the Death Cafe, the cafe is not a Calgary Hospice event)
There's no charge for attending any Death Cafe event, however you are invited to donate "A Toonie a Treat" for the refreshments ( seconds are on the house!) The proceeds will be donated to the Family and Youth services of Hospice Calgary.
For more information, please email me at wendymariek@gmail.com., see www.deathcafe.com, or the Calgary Herald articles by Zoey Duncan, and Jon Roe.
Please note that to attend the June 9th Death Cafe, you will need a confirmation of your registration from me: just send me a request at wendymariek@gmail.com.
In the meantime, take care.
Warmly,
Wendy Kurchak

I just found out this week about Death Cafes and then stumbled upon your work in Calgary! I write about hospice care and death and dying and I'm a hospice volunteer as well as an academic. Looking forward to reading lots more about your work!
