Mother's Day at Death Cafe

May 12th is the next Death Cafe...
From : "A Special Gift for Mother's Day"


and I'm excited to announce that Calgarian author Mary (Morrissey) Posadowski is our special guest. She'll be reading her newly published book, "A Special Gift for Mother's Day - A Story for Motherless Children of All Ages". Perfect timing.

Then, there'll be plenty of opportunity for small table discussions about all those things that you've ever wondered about death, dying and grief - and how they fit into life and living!

This will be the first Death Cafe in a new venue, The Sage Center, which has been generously donated by Hospice Calgary.* The room is bright, relaxing and will easily accomodate the talk, laughter and movement characteristic of a Death Cafe. It's located at 1245 70th Ave SE - across from the site of the old Costco. There's lots of parking infront and behind The Sage Center, as well as in the parking lot across the street.

We'll start promptly at 2 PM and be finished by 5 PM in time to get home for dinner. There'll be yummy homemade cakes and coffee/tea/juice for refreshments. A limited selection of gluten free cake will also be available.

So, for everyone who is already registered, I'm looking forward to meeting you.

As the May 12th Death Cafe is TOTALLY FULL, there are only seats for folks already on the guest list. I will be sending confirmation emails to those on the list. If you think you should be on the list, and have not heard from me by Monday, May 6, please email me at YYCDeathcafe@gmail.com

IN THE MEANTIME, if you would like to attend a future Sunday afternoon event, there are about 5 spots left for the June 9th Death Cafe. It's going to be an eye opener, with new information about Baby Boomers that might leave your jaw dropping! To grab one of the last places, please email me at YYCDeathcafe@gmail.com

 One more thing - there is also a newly planned Death Cafe for Monday June 24th in conjunction with the people at "Sage-ing". More info here, soon! Or email me!

 Death Cafe - it's about living life more fully through the exploration of death and dying.
