Current Events
First Tuesday of Every Month 11:00 - 12:00pm
Join the conversation...Death Cafes are offered all over the world, providing individuals the opportunity to talk openly about dying and death. These casual gatherings aim to "increase awareness of death while helping people make the most of their (finite) lives."
Hospice is pleased to host the final film in a three-part documentary series exploring death, consciousness, and the human experience. This 59-minute documentary will be followed by a 15–20 minute facilitated discussion. Free and open to the public. Seating is limited.
The holidays symbolize a time when family and friends gather in celebration. It can also be a difficult and emotional time for those grieving a loss. Since 1984, Hospice SLO County has offered the community an opportunity to come together to honor and remember loved ones who are no longer living but who will never be forgotten. We invite you to join us for music, words of comfort, a reading of names, and to light a candle for those you still hold close to your heart.
Opportunities to include a name in this year’s reading of names will be announced soon.
Past Events
The lantern symbolizes light as we are guided through life’s journey. We use the symbolism of the lantern to represent the light of the individuals who have been special in our lives. The illumination, warmth, and glow provided by the candles giving light to the lanterns symbolize the influence these individuals have had on who we are today.
