HSCD Death Cafè

"Bringing grief and death out of the shadow is our spiritual responsibility, our sacred duty. By so doing, we may be able to feel our desire for life once again and remember who we are, where we belong, and what is sacred."
(Francis Weller, the Wild Edge of Sorrow)
Through open conversation in a natural, comfortable setting, we can bring death out of silence and increase awareness of death while helping people make the most of their lives.

Join the conversation at this drop-in, no-fee gathering where all things death and dying are open for discussion. All Death Cafès occur on the lower level of the Camrose Public Library. Please note, this is not a grief-therapy or support group; rather, it is a conversation forum.

Hike for Hospice

Sunday, May 7th is National Hike for Hospice and the kick off to National Palliative Care Week. This is an endeavour to raise funds and  awareness of end-of-life and grief care in Camrose and District.

In past years, Hospice was graced with an intimate and enthusiastic crowd of family, friends, neighbours, and co-workers who walked, ate, and sang for Hospice.

This year’s hike will take place at the Mirror Lake Centre overlooking Mirror Lake in Camrose. We meet at 1:30pm, and will walk a leisurely pace around the lake, returning to enjoy entertainment, lemonade, cinnamon buns, cake and ice cream, and conversation.
