About the event:
Inscrivez-vous au café mortel facilité par Stéphanie Rouet, Doula de fin de vie formée par la Home Hospice Association; cette rencontre gratuite se fera autour de thé et gâteau. Les participants peuvent échanger des idées sur la mort, confortablement et authentiquement, dans un espace respectueux et confidentiel. Notez que les cafés mortels sont des espaces de rencontre mais non de soutien ou de counselling pour le deuil, et qu’il n’y aura aucune représentation de services commerciaux ou spirituels.
Bernard Crettaz (1938-2022) a organisé le 1er café mortel en 2004; son travail a inspiré le mouvement, qui maintenant a lieu dans 82 pays.
About Death Cafés:
A Death Café is a group-directed discussion of death. The goal of creating these spaces is to encourage and normalize conversations about the one reality we all share, but that few wish to talk about. By increasing our awareness of death, we’re better positioned to make the most of our (finite) lives.
Home Hospice Association’s Death Cafés build on the international social movement of Death Cafés, originated in the UK in 2010. Leading the national community in the facilitation of Death Cafés, HHA is committed to this important community outreach.
Meet the Facilitator:
Stéphanie Rouet
Stéphanie Rouet knows that change is a fact of life. Having lived in five different countries and worked in various entertainment and social services, connecting with people is the keystone of her career. Her work as a social worker in dementia care incited her to reflect about end-of-life experiences for long-term care residents and families. Becoming a death doula was a natural way to instigate changes. The challenges are vast, and the conversations are so fascinating, so the death cafes are an excellent way to gather people and talk.
We all get to die, but Stéphanie is hoping that we can all go through this transition with grace and feeling loved.
