Join Lauren Seeley—death care worker and death literacy advocate, as well as the facilitator for the Silent Book Club Of Death Brooklyn—at the Morbid Anatomy Library for a night dedicated to reading silently about death/grief/mortality followed by Death Cafe, which is an open, respectful and confidential space for people to gather, salon-style, to talk about death.

No gimmicks, no agenda, just a desire to come together and face the future of what it means to be alive.This is not a support group or a counseling session. We meet as equals, as human beings, as mortals, sharing a slice of time and cake on our inexorable march towards death.

Lauren Seeley is a death care worker and death literacy advocate, as well as the facilitator for the Silent Book Club Of Death Brooklyn.

Your Morbid Friends is a death literacy company co-founded by Cassandra, a death doula, and Robin, an Ecopsychologist. Together, they curate spaces where mortals can discuss the morbid. Incorporating elements of mindfulness, embodiment, and a holistic/mycelial approach to care, we aim to facilitate a space where people can recontextualize their mortality/grief with a healthy perspective. Ultimately our goal is to facilitate the growth of a more death-positive culture.
