Eat tasty treats, drink tea, and discuss death in a friendly setting. Ages 16+

Death Cafés are a growing international movement of people gathering together in a relaxed and safe setting to eat tasty treats, drink tea, and discuss death. Free of agenda or ideology, the aim is to increase awareness of death to help people make the most of their (finite) lives. Not a grief support group, it is no more and no less than a friendly group discussing death. Facilitated by Cheryl Adcox RN, an End of Life Doula and experienced Death Café facilitator.

Cheryl Adcox has been a Registered Nurse since 2003 with a background in Oncology and Hospice care. She received her certification as an End of Life Doula through Quality of Life Care in 2019. She is a graduate of the two year Anamcara Program offered through Sacred Art of Living in Bend, OR and is also a certified facilitator of the Institute of Noetic Science's Conscious Aging Workshops. Along with her service as an End of Life Doula, Cheryl works as a Geriatric Case Manager with Bend Senior Care Management. Furthering her work in the community, Cheryl has offered Death Café's in Bend since October 2018 and also facilitates Living Funeral Ceremonies. Cheryl is committed to quality end of life care and offers compassionate, nonjudgmental support, calming presence, education and advocacy.

The Death Café model originated in England in 2011 and was developed by Jon Underwood and Sue Barsky Reid. In 2012, Lizzie Miles brought the first Death Cafe to the U.S. Since that time there have been over 6,509 Death Cafés in 56 countries. They are always run on a non-profit basis and have no intention of leading its participants to any conclusion, product or course of action.
