Date with Death Club:
A Multi-Session Curriculum to Explore Mortality in Community

We will offer the Date with Death Club ONLINE for 6 sessions on Wednesday afternoons, from January to March 2023. The meetings are open to anyone ages 16 and up. We will meet twice a month over Zoom, for two-hour sessions, to discuss important but sometimes hard to talk about topics, like “Getting Comfortable with Death Talk” and “Owning your Own Dying”.
