🌟 We’re Changing Our Name — And We’d Love You to Join Us! 🌟
After careful thought, our “Death Cafe” gatherings are now called HOPE Conversations — Honest Open Planning for End-of-Life.
We loved the Death Cafe movement and its mission to make talking about death normal. But we also heard that the original name sometimes felt heavy or kept people away.
HOPE better captures what we’re truly about:

Honest conversations
Open hearts
Practical planning
Expressing hope, connection, and meaning around life’s final chapter

The gatherings themselves remain exactly the same: warm, welcoming, non-judgmental, and filled with tea, coffee, and cake. Come as you are.

You’re invited to our next HOPE Conversation!
📅 May 4th - 10am
📍 673 Clifton Ave

Whether you want to talk about advance care planning, legacy, grief, or simply listen and connect — all are welcome.
Come for the conversation. Stay for the community. ❤️
