Death Cafe – 15th September

What is inevitable and something we’ll all have to face eventually, yet we mostly avoid talking about it? Yes, it’s DEATH!

But you might be surprised at how reassuring, informative and fun conversations about death can be, and now is your chance to find out! Death Café’s have been happening all over the world for close to 15 years.

They are not a support group or counselling session, just a bunch of people chatting together over cake and a cuppa – and we finally have a chance to experience it in Katanning.

Come along to find out what it’s all about.

When: 15th September, from 2.00pm to 4.00pm
Where: The Fresh Start Cafe (Inside the Regional Retailers)
