What happens when we die?
Steve Clarke, uses his extra-ordinary lived experience to ask the biggest question of all.
Crazy really that the only thing that we all have to go through is the very thing we rarely discuss – until we have to.
And at that point we are uniquely ill-equipped to do so.
This final part of the odyssey trilogy will help you to explore some of the issues that really are best considered before we die.
If you haven’t discussed death with strangers recently then this is for you!
Steve runs a six monthly online session as part of the Death Cafe movement
This provides a safe place to discuss any issue related to the subject of death.
And to explore how should think about, plan for and discuss death.
Using anecdotal vox-pops from research in 2024 Steve discovers – unsurprisingly – that nobody knows what happens when we die
But those who work closest with people at the actual point of death have a message which should help us all.
Spoiler alert
We shouldn’t spend too much of our life worrying about death and please don’t be put off.
The show has a light but respectful touch and includes music and poetry and probably something we don;’t even know about yet!
So come along and if you don’t enjoy it , want to leave early or just feel you’ve wasted your evening then we will refund your ticket without any question!
