Friends of the Library Gather Space

Do you want to face mortality with less fear and more curiosity, less euphemism and more reality, less conformity and more creativity?

Maybe you are experiencing more death anxiety that you are comfortable with...

Maybe you want to learn more about end of life issues and options...

Maybe you want to explore the nature of our mortality more... 

 

This is a (non-dogmatic) opportunity to explore mortality in community through connection, reflection, and conversation. 

 

Come and find out more about Date with Death Club facilitated by death doula and educator Siobhan Skehan.

Siobhan is a former high school teacher who now offers death doula support and provides community-based death and dying education. She's passionate about spreading the message that doing death differently is possible.
