Jane McCabe with the support of Fanshaw Projects invites death doula Rebecca Illing to lead a Death Café, a group-led conversation that encourages open discussion around death, dying, and what it means to live fully. Also acting as an open studio event, this will be a chance to see Jane McCabe’s work in progress during her residency at Fanshaw Projects.
We will gather in Fanshaw Projects’ living room space that is open to all and relationships to death and grief are valid and welcome. Rebecca aims to create a space where you can acknowledge life, what you have lost, and everything in-between. Death and grief often remain overlooked, shrouded in uncertainty and fear. The reality is that death makes life whole.
Programme
6:30-7:00pm Doors open and drinks
7:00-9:00pm Death Cafe
9:00pmDrinks, baked goods and mingling
