Iona’s Take Charge/Age Well Academy\, an educational program for proactive adults planning for their futures\, is excited to offer this gathering and conversation opportunity for people to come together and talk about death. \nABOUT  DEATH CAFES\nThe first Death Café was offered in the UK in September 2011. Since then\, the model has expanded to more than 7\,500 groups\, with conversations and meet-ups happening across the globe. Death Cafés are discussion groups\, not grief support groups or counseling sessions. \nIn a Death Café\, the objective is to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives. The discussion group  is directed\, and there is no agenda\, objectives\, or themes. Learn more about Death Cafés at deathcafe.com \nABOUT THE FACILITATORS\nIona’s Death Café is facilitated by Dixcy Bosley\, RN\, MSN\, FNP and Susan Messina\, MSS\, MLSP\, MS. Prior to joining the Iona Care Management team\, Dixcy served as a hospice nurse in various community settings.

Susan is Iona Senior Services’ Deputy Director. \n\nWhen: Tuesday\, April 21\, 2020\, from 2-4 PM. \nWhere: Iona Senior Services\, 4125 Albemarle St. NW Washington\, DC 20016. \nCost: Free! \nRegistration: Register here.
