Guelph Death Cafe | Sunday, March 29, 2020

Picture
*
Unfortunately I need to cancel this offering of Guelph Death Cafe. Stay tuned for a rescheduled date. Take care of each other, friends. 

 This event will now be rescheduled to take place online in order to help slow the spread of the coronavirus. I will update this event listing with a link to join the call via Zoom online chat. It will be free to join, no Zoom account needed to join. ​​

Why is it “morbid” to talk about an ending that happens to every single one of us? Not talking about death won’t make it easier to manage. A Death Cafe creates space for an open and relaxed conversation about death and dying over a cup of tea. The Death Cafe model aims to shift the conversation around death from one of fear or avoidance to that of familiarity and comfort.

10C Shared Space, 42 Carden St
2pm to 4pm. $10/PWYC


Queer partners who want to celebrate their partnership on their own terms can feel pressured in to expectations and norms that feel like hard no’s! In part because the wedding industry is built around assumptions of heterosexuality and normative gender identities. It can be intimidating to wade through the BS in order to discover what is actually a good fit for how you want to celebrate. 
But never fear, your friendly local queer wedding professionals are here to help!
