Death Cafe

This is a time when we gather to discuss all things death and dying with others that are curious. This is not a group therapy session, but a time for gentle questioning and discussing of a bridge that we will all eventually cross. This is a safe and held container where all are welcome. Refreshments will be provided.

Joyful Grief Tender

becquel@flourishfoundation.org

From a meant-to-be-forever career in banking to then working with several local non profits, Becquel found her soul’s calling by volunteering as a community grief tender for several years with Flourish. Following extensive training by Francis Weller, author of Wild Edge of Sorrow and soul activist, she began the deep soul work of apprenticing to sorrow and has been working to share this gift with her community ever since.
Following a childhood that involved calling more than eight states home, Becquel moved to Missoula, Montana, studied Business Administration at the University of Montana before moving to Hailey, Idaho in 2003 finding with no surprise at all that she had ended up right where she was meant to be all along.
She may be found most days moving at the speed of love, avoiding small talk, sitting at the river, talking to the trees, and spending time with her loved ones.

FAQs

Who is this for?

Anyone that would like to talk about death and dying and our cultural norms, traditions, and understandings of it. This is a friendly welcoming space to all.

Do I have to have known someone that died or is dying in order to attend?

No. This space is open to all, regardless of whatever your own personal experience of death may be.

How much does it cost?

There is a suggested donation of $25 to help us support the facilitators, the space at Flourish Foundation, and perhaps most importantly, purchase snacks.

While many of Flourish’s programs are offered freely to participants thanks to generous donors, some offerings use a tiered-based price model. Our aspiration is to ensure that all who wish to participate are able to and that we can continue to run a vital, sustainable organization to serve this community for a long time!

Please reflect on both the value you will personally receive from this experience and your current financial reality to support how much you decide to give.
