When was the last time you had a real conversation about death?

Join us for Crappy Hour—a unique gathering where we trade small talk for meaningful dialogue about the things that matter most: who we've lost, who we're afraid of losing, and what it means to live with our own mortality in mind.

This isn't a therapy support group. It's a space to connect over drinks with others who are also navigating grief, anticipatory loss, or simply thinking about what it means to be mortal.

What to expect:

Intimate conversations with folks who get it
Guided conversation prompts (think: a menu of meaningful questions)
A memory wall to honor what you're carrying
Optional moments to share a toast
Full bar and menu available throughout - minimum purchase of one beverage or snack required (please support our host venue!)

Who this is for:

Anyone actively grieving a loss
People experiencing anticipatory grief (worried about losing someone)
Those thinking about their own mortality and what matters
Anyone tired of pretending everything is fine
People who want deeper connection around life's harder truths

Come as you are & stay as long as you need.
