Death Café by ARO: Cozy Curious Conversations on Life, Loss, and What Matters Most
Talking about death doesn’t have to be heavy, scary, or morbid. In fact, opening up about mortality is often one of the most liberating, life-affirming things we can do.
Welcome to Death Café by ARO—a warm, welcoming gathering where people come together to eat sweets, drink tea, and discuss death, dying, and life. Think of it like an Authentic Relating Games with the theme of death and dying. Come prepared for honest, open-hearted conversation with fellow human beings.
Whether you’re curious, navigating curiosity about mortality, or simply looking for a space to talk about the one topic society often avoids, you are welcome here.
This event will be outside, and therefore weather dependent. If it is raining, we will not be able to proceed. Donations gratefully accepted on the day. Spots limited to 18 participants. Come prepared to stay from 1-4pm. Arrive early to get settled.
What to expect:
An Open, Friendly Environment: Respectful small-group conversations guided by an expert relational communications facilitator – Pamela French.
Tea & Treats: Delicious treats and warm beverages to keep the atmosphere cozy and grounded.
Zero Pressure: Share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. Listening is just as valuable as speaking.
Event Details:
Duration: 3 Hours
Investment: By donation
Registration: Limited to 18 participants. First come, first served.
Note: Death Café by ARO is for the curious, kind and brave who wish to explore this topic, not a grief support group or counseling session. If you are currently experiencing acute grief, please reach out to dedicated support resources.
