Queer and Trans People of Colour only?

This event has been set up specifically as a response to community requests for a safe space for Queer and Trans People of Colour.

Supporting Allies are welcome to attend with the understanding that our community of focus is intersectional - LGBTIQA+, First Nations, culturally diverse and those who experience disability. Through our events, we seek to identify any unmet needs within our community to direct our advocacy and education work.

What's a Death Cafe?
This is a group-directed discussion around death and dying, where we can bring our questions and share our experiences. Just so you know, this is not a grief or peer support group and we aren't counsellors. Our objective is 'to increase awareness of death to help people make the most of their (finite) lives'.

these are always offered:

On a not-for-profit basis
In an accessible, respectful and confidential space
With no intention of leading people to any conclusion, product or course of action

How our death cafes roll:

Meet and greet
5min meditation / breathwork (participation optional)
Introduction

Half time break
Return to or swap yarning circles
Group share
12:30-12:45 pm finish

Keeping yourself safe

Our facilitators will introduce themselves at the start of the sharing circle, ie name, pronouns, why they are there and ask you to do the same. DON'T share anything if it feels uncomfortable for you, such as age, sexuality, job, where you live, spiritual beliefs etc.

If you need spaces to specifically talk about your mental health, suicidal ideation or self-harm
