​THE DEATH TALK PROJECT  
Holly Pruett organizes workshops, rituals, Death Cafes (the largest in the country) & a monthly movie night in Portland. The goal is useful, honest conversation about how we die, how we mourn, and how we care for and remember our dead. She is a life cycle celebrant. She organized the successful Death OK conference in Fall 2015 that kinda got us started. And she has been a mentor to us throughout our process.

Death Cafes are happening all over the world - people drink tea, eat cake and discuss death. Our aim is to increase awareness of death to help people make the most of their (finite) lives.  We have a local version of this in some of our Art of Death & Dying Sessions at Hoffman Center for the Arts and small in-house conversations sponsored by the Raven Project. CONTACT US to get on our mailing list for notification upcoming dates and times.
