DEATH CAFES

The objective of the Death Cafe is “To increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives.”  It’s all about an interesting, unstructured conversation – open and free-flowing with no specific agenda. Relax over some coffee or tea, some cake or cookies, and join in a group discussion to talk about what’s on your mind about mortality issues. Refreshments are provided at these free events. Gail is one of the first people to hold a Death Cafe in the United States.

Death Cafe conversations are being held in-person in Albuquerque twice a month. Sign up for upcoming events through the Meetup Death Cafe Albuquerque page.

Before I Die NM Festival

Gail is the coordinator of the annual Before I Die NM Festival, based in Albuquerque, NM. Even though 100% of us will die, less than 30% of adults do any end-of-life planning, leaving loved ones confused about what to do. What will get adults to discuss and plan for their eventual demise? Put some “fun” in funeral planning to get people to discuss this serious topic.

The 2024 Before I Die New Mexico Festival will take place November 1-4 at different locations each day in the Albuquerque metropolitan area. The festival has entertaining and educational elements that get people to discuss end-of-life issues and plan ahead. Most sessions will be available online as hybrid events, with audiences participating both in-person and via Zoom.
