SUMMARY:The Dead Curious Cafe at Tribe Porty
DESCRIPTION:A series of interactive talks at the Dead Curious Cafe where we
 ’ll explore our attitudes towards\, and our relationship with death.\nOp
 en conversations around death and dying are often confined to the realms o
 f bad news\, frequently in a medical environment\, when the conversation b
 ecomes unavoidable.\nThere is merit in normalising the subject of death to
  open up a wider perspective on the important aspects of living our best l
 ife. Many people avoid thinking about death\, which can create fear and di
 scomfort. Open discussions help normalise death\, making it less of a tabo
 o and allowing people to approach it with more acceptance and peace.\nJoin
  us for a series of interactive talks at the Dead Curious Cafe where we wi
 ll explore our attitudes towards\, and our relationship with death.\nThis 
 is a safe and nurturing environment\, where participation is encouraged\, 
 and mutual respect is a given.\nYour facilitator is Loretta Dunn\, a Life 
 Celebrant and retired nurse\, with many years of experience working with b
 ereaved families and people at the end of life.\nThis is pay-what-you-can 
 event\, suggested donation is £5.\nAbout Loretta.\nLoretta Dunn is a life
  celebrant and death doula\, with a special interest in living well and dy
 ing well. Her journey so far has included a long career in nursing and mid
 wifery\, she is a member of The Institute for the Study of Birth\, Breath 
 and Death\, and an EASE Facilitator (end of life aid skills for everyone) 
 with the Scottish Partnership for Palliative Care. She is passionate about
  bringing death out of the shadows as a means of helping us to live our be
 st life in the present moment.\nCompassion and love are at the heart of he
 r work.\nThe evening will be safe and relaxed environment for sharing and 
 exploring a deeper understanding of spiritual wellbeing for living well to
  die well.\n“Love has triumphed from the enfoldment of my inner circle
 —my closest friends and family. Engaging in open conversations about lif
 e and death has woven tighter bonds among us. Death\, a shared human exper
 ience often wrapped in silence\, has become a pivotal topic of our discuss
 ions. Through this\, I’ve gained invaluable insights about the inevitabl
 e but more so about how to live.” -Dani Trudeau on conversations about d
