SUMMARY:Fawkner Memorial Park Death Café
DESCRIPTION:Join us this Dying to Know Day at Fawkner Memorial Park for an open conversation about death and dying\, facilitated by experienced end-of-life doula\, Dina Smirnova. \nEvent details \nDate: Friday 8 August 2025 – Dying to Know Day \nTime: 6-8pm (we’ll start promptly at 6pm so please arrive ten minutes early to settle into the space and help create the right atmosphere for meaningful conversation) \nCost: Free to attend \nCoffee and light refreshments will be provided. \nWhat is a Death Café? \nDeath Cafes are welcoming community spaces where people gather to talk openly about death and dying over a cup of coffee. They aim to normalise conversations about death\, remove the stigmas\, and increase community understanding and awareness about end-of-life experiences. These conversations happen without judgement and without any agenda to change others’ minds. It’s simply a safe space to explore one of life’s most universal experiences through meaningful conversation. \nPlease note that this event is not a grief circle\, group therapy\, or counselling session. If you’re unsure whether this event is right for you at this time\, please reach out to our team.

SUMMARY:Young Adult Death Cafe
DESCRIPTION:Curious about the big questions in life? Join us at a penthouse in Ultimo\, a 10 minute walk from UTS for a special Death Café event\, exclusively for young adults aged 18-25\, as part of our annual Dying to Know Day campaign. In this open\, respectful\, and confidential space\, you’ll have the opportunity to express your thoughts and feelings about life and death. Facilitated by experienced members of our team\, Carolyn and Jordan\, this event encourages meaningful conversation on mortality\, loss\, and grief over some light refreshments. \nWhether you want to share your experiences\, ask questions or simply listen\, everyone is welcome. Life\, death and everything in between. Connect with other young adults over topics that we all experience but rarely have open conversations about. Refreshments will be provided. \nLet’s come together to break the taboo and build a community where talking about death is a normal and healthy part of life. We look forward to seeing you there! \nNote \nThis event is not a counseling session or support group. It is a space for open discussion and shared experiences.
