The Last Tea Party
Saturday, October 24th
1pm to 4pm in the ByWard Market
Pull up a chair and be met by an attentive Authentic Relating Ottawa listener offering undivided, curious attention through gentle exploration questions. Sip tea, speak your truth, and explore how grief lives in you.
The Last Tea Party is a community space dedicated to giving voice to the losses we carry – from loved ones and relationships to identity, aging, and world shifts.

We have entered a team for TalkDeath’s annual Cemetery Scavenger Hunt, and you can take part!
Every year, they encourage people to learn about local cemeteries and their histories. It reminds us that cemeteries can be spaces for the living. We will learn about memorial iconography and history, spend time with friends, and reflect on mortality. And we’re playing to win!
