🎂 1 year anniversary of Death Café
July 27th marks one year of death café tt! We can't thank our community enough for trying something different and trusting the process. For this death café session, we decided to record which is not something we usually do, and we're so glad we did. There were some beautiful conversations that happened quite naturally, and we're so grateful for the way this community shows up and finds strength in vulnerability.
