Good Death, Good Life Café
Join us every third Tuesday of the month, from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m., beginning in September 15 for the Good Death, Good Life Café at Orcas Senior Center. Led by certified end-of-life doula Sonia Lippmann, this free community gathering offers a safe, welcoming space to explore conversations about aging, serious illness, and end-of-life planning.
Through gentle discussion and compassionate guidance, participants will learn practical ways to prepare for the future before a crisis occurs. These conversations can bring greater understanding, strengthen family connections, and provide peace of mind.
