Death Salon

An intimate evening salon exploring death and dying.

Take a seat at the communal table, share a glass of wine, and enter into open, honest conversation about death.
There’s no agenda — just an organic, welcoming space to reflect on mortality, impermanence, and the many facets of living and dying.

This is a free event; all are welcome, but registrations are required.

Death Salon is a public outcome created through the Abbotsford Convent Artist-In-Residence program.
