diealogue gather

is a free in-person, death café-style experience where curious people come together for courageous conversation about death and dying. These gatherings provide an open and safe space to talk about this often difficult topic. They are group directed discussions with no agenda, objective or specific theme. It's important to note that these gatherings are casual and not grief support or counseling sessions.

Cost: FREE

• Location: I’m hopeful the weather will be great for us to gather at the east end of Altura Park near Constitution and Carlisle! Please RSVP here.

• Bring a favorite drink or snack, back-jacks, travel chair or blanket!

  Please, stay home if you’re sick.

Sway's annual clothing exchange occurs on Sunday, April 21st around 11:45 a.m. and follows my 10:30 a.m. class. Bring nothing, take something, leave everything, take nothing. This is always a fun event!

Who wants to go to Explora! Adult Night and boogie? Friday, April 19th at 6–9 p.m. it's the "Shared Futures Dance Party”. Cost is $14. This evening will involve interactive pieces with Shared Futures!, a collaboration bringing together local scientists and artists with an aim to communicate scientific perspective through artistic mediums.

This is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counseling session.
