'Death Cafe' meet-ups held monthly at Solvang Senior Center

On the second Tuesday of each month, the Solvang Senior Center will host the next Death Cafe, a community discussion group facilitated by Arlene Stepputat, a "Death Doula."

The meetings are said to offer a "safe and casual place to share our views and experiences," according to organizers.

The meetings are for discussion only, and are not a bereavement support group.

The next meeting is slated for Sept. 12, from 1:30-3 p.m., at the Solvang Senior Center.

Meetings are free and open to the public.
