Let’s Talk About Death Book Group

Thursday, November 13, 2025, 4:00 pm until 6:30 pm
Cummington Community House

A discussion series around the book ”Let’s Talk about Death over Dinner,” by Michael Hebb, will be offered at the Cummington Community House in October and November.

“Given the right framing, a “difficult” conversation does not need to be difficult. It can be liberating. It can even be transformative,” Michael Hebb.

Death Doula Stacey Mackowiak will lead us through a “guided conversation that transforms a seemingly difficult conversation into one of deep engagement, insight, and empowerment.”

Michael’s book will be provided at an introductory session on Thursday October 16 from 4-5pm. On Thursdays November 6 and 13 two dinners will be held from 4-6:30pm to share our thoughts on questions posed in the book. Participation is limited to 15 individuals. Please RSVP with Polly at pryan@town.plainfield.ma.us or call 413-212-1581.

All individuals in the 7 COA consortium Hilltowns are welcome to participate. (Williamsburg, Goshen, Cummington, Plainfield, Worthington, Chesterfield, and Westhampton).

This is an event funded by a grant from the Massachusetts Council on Aging
