Join us at Life and Soul for Crappy Hour—drinks, laughs, and a good time to forget the weekday grind!
About this Event

When was the last time you had a real conversation about death?

Join us for Crappy Hour—a unique gathering where we trade small talk for meaningful dialogue about the things that matter most: who we've lost, who we're afraid of losing, and what it means to live with our own mortality in mind.

This isn't a therapy support group. It's a space to connect over drinks with others who are also navigating grief, anticipatory loss, or simply thinking about what it means to be mortal.



What to expect:
  • Intimate conversations with up to 25 fellow humans who get it
  • Guided conversation prompts (think: a menu of meaningful questions)
  • A memory wall to honor what you're carrying
  • Optional moments to share a toast
  • Full bar and menu available throughout - minimum purchase of one beverage or snack required (please support our host venue!)



Who this is for:
  • Anyone actively grieving a loss
  • People experiencing anticipatory grief (worried about losing someone)
  • Those thinking about their own mortality and what matters
  • Anyone tired of pretending everything is fine
  • Humans who want deeper connection around life's harder truths


Come as you are. Stay as long as you need. Leave when it feels right.
