SUMMARY:The Dead Curious Cafe
DESCRIPTION:The Dead Curious Cafe at Tribe Porty\n\nOpen conversations arou
 nd death and dying are often confined to the realms of bad news\, frequent
 ly in a medical environment\, when the conversation becomes unavoidable.\n
 \nThere is merit in normalising the subject of death to open up a wider pe
 rspective on the important aspects of living our best life. Many people av
 oid thinking about death\, which can create fear and discomfort. Open disc
 ussions help normalise death\, making it less of a taboo and allowing peop
 le to approach it with more acceptance and peace.\n\nJoin us for a series 
 of interactive talks at the Dead Curious Cafe where we will explore our at
 titudes towards\, and our relationship with death.\n\nThis is a safe and n
 urturing environment\, where participation is encouraged\, and mutual resp
 ect is a given.\n\nYour facilitator is Loretta Dunn\, a Life Celebrant and
  retired nurse\, with many years of experience working with bereaved famil
 ies and people at the end of life.\n\nThis is pay-what-you-can event\, sug
 gested donation is £5.\n\nAbout Loretta\n\nLoretta Dunn is a life celebra
 nt and death doula\, with a special interest in living well and dying well

 g death out of the shadows as a means of helping us to live our best life

 oring a deeper understanding of spiritual wellbeing for living well to die
  well.\nLove has triumphed from the enfoldment of my inner circle—my clo
 sest friends and family. Engaging in open conversations about life and dea
 th has woven tighter bonds among us. Death\, a shared human experience oft
 en wrapped in silence\, has become a pivotal topic of our discussions. Thr
 ough this\, I’ve gained invaluable insights about the inevitable but mor
 e so about how to live. –Dani Trudeau on conversations about death
