Death Cafe: An open conversation

Are you interested in talking about DEATH, dying and the afterlife? Then you are warmly welcomed to join us at our monthly Death Cafe, a group-directed, agenda-free discussion group dedicated to death, dying and the afterlife. Death Cafe is about conversation.  It's about people telling their stories, exchanging ideas, learning from one another and sharing moments of great warmth and intimacy.  Please note that Death Cafe is not a bereavement support group or grief counselling group. Death Cafe is facilitated by Dr Michele Knight, Social Scientist, whose interest and research in the end-of-life has its origin in the lived experiences of her own life. She has extensive experience in community advocacy, bereavement and grief support and is currently completing her Masters’ clinical Social Work degree at the University of Sydney. The Death Cafe movement is a global, community-directed initiative which provides an opportunity to increase awareness of death.  The event is free but a gold coin donation is welcome.  PLEASE ARRIVE AT 1:45PM FOR A 2:00PM START.   FAQS  ARE THERE ID OR MINIMUM AGE REQUIREMENTS TO ENTER THE EVENT? Identification is not required, nor is there a minimum age requirement for attendees.  WHAT ARE MY TRANSPORT/PARKING OPTIONS FOR GETTING TO AND FROM THE EVENT? On-street parking is available within the vicinity of the cafe or in nearby Sydney Park for free.  Or, you can take the train to St Peter's Train Station which is a 3-minute walk to the cafe. WHAT CAN I BRING INTO THE EVENT? To ensure privacy for attendees, no audio recording or photographic recording devices of any kind are permitted.  WHAT DOES IT COST? The event is free but a gold coin donation on the day is welcome. HOW CAN I CONTACT THE ORGANISER WITH ANY QUESTIONS? Please email Michele at michele.knight@sydney.edu.au WHEN SHOULD I ARRIVE?
