Let’s Have Dinner &
Talk About Death
“Good conversations can change a lot of things.”
Stephen Jenkinson – How It All Could Be
Jo and Pip warmly invite you to gather around our table to share food, stories and conversation about dying and being alongside people you love in their dying time.
Making a place at the table
Conversations about death and dying can be tender and useful, gritty and beautiful.
There are learnings to be shared and things to wonder aloud about and perhaps some examples of what it might look like to live and die well will appear among us.
In our death-phobic and grief-illiterate society, there are few places where we can openly talk of death and dying without judgement.
We want to create a gently held space where these conversations are welcome.
We
will share simple, seasonal plant-based food together, with gentle prompts to encourage the conversation to flow.
You are welcome to share as much or as little as you like.

“This kind of conversation is rare in our daily comings and goings and has been hard to find for a few generations now.
So that few of us, strange though it might sound, know how to talk our way towards these things.
We do not have much of a shared language to help us know what grief is for, or how heartache is a skill, or what dying asks of us all,
or who the dying and the dead should be to us.”
