Death is something we all have in common – yet it's often the conversation we avoid. Dying to Know Month each August is about making space for these important conversations.

β˜• Join us for our first FREE community Death Cafe on Wednesday 5 August from 10.00am-11.00am at one of our favourite Ballarat cafes, and be part of an open, respectful conversation about death, dying and life.

𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄, 𝐁𝐔𝐓 ππŽπŽπŠπˆππ†π’ π„π’π’π„ππ“πˆπ€π‹: To reserve your place, please email [email protected]. Venue details and a Death Cafe FAQ sheet will be included with your booking confirmation email. Places are limited, so don’t delay – book today!

A Death Cafe isn't a seminar, counselling session or support group. There's no agenda, no presentations and no expected outcomes – just people coming together over tea, coffee and snacks to share thoughts, questions and experiences in a welcoming, confidential setting.

Whether you're simply curious, have experienced loss, or have been thinking about these conversations for some time, you're warmly invited to attend. Listening is just as welcome as sharing.

Hosted by Ballarat Cemeteries, this free community event offers a rare opportunity to connect with others and explore a topic that touches every one of us. Come along for the conversation. Stay for the connection - and the delicious scones!

Can't make it on this date? Stay tuned for news of our next three Death Cafe events.

We’ve decided to postpone tomorrow’s working bee. Stay warm and dry everyone and hopefully we’ll see you all next time 😊
