PARTICIPANTS WILL LEARN:  

• Death over Tea is a safe space to talk about death and dying. Organic conversations that allow people to begin to feel more comfortable with talking about death among one another, that in turn, can assist someone to navigate those difficult conversations with their loved ones. 

TAKEAWAYS:  

• Participants will leave with a sense of community and support, knowing that they are not alone and perhaps with a little less fear around death. Helping to talk about this seemingly difficult conversation can help people to feel empowered and inspired. Speakers may provide handouts or digitals resources. 

MATERIALS TO BRING:

• Curiosity and an open mind & heart
