Death Café

Death Café

Thursday, December 7, 2023 - 3:00 pm at Warm Hearth's Karr Activity Center, 2603 Warm Hearth Dr, Blacksburg, VA 24060.

​

Death Café is a global movement that brings people together for lively conversations about death over coffee and tea. Join us for a group-directed and candid discussion on issues. This is a free, all volunteer event, with no political or religious agenda. Why? We don’t want to talk about death even though we know everything dies. Together we can ease our fears and breathe life into our conversations about death. Everyone is welcome!
