Death Cafe
Apr

2:00 PM14:00

Death Cafe

Join us for a heart-warming experience. Sip on soothing drinks and share communal conversations about life, love and death.

WHAT IS A DEATH CAFÉ?

It’s a guided group discussion where people come together to talk openly + candidly about life, mortality, death, dying, + related topics. Death Café serves our community as a doorway into the shared exploration of our love of life and respect for death.

The aim of a Death Café is not to provide grief counseling or to promote any particular religious or spiritual beliefs, but rather to encourage honest conversations with the goal of promoting greater awareness and acceptance of death as a natural part of life. It’s an inclusive, safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where people can share their thoughts, experiences, and questions about death in a respectful and supportive environment. A place for exchanges and deep listening as well as a space where you can practice being brave.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Death Café is free + open to anyone who wants to talk about death. All are welcome from hospice workers, doulas, the terminally ill, elderly, those experiencing a loss to the death-curious. Please have anyone ages 16 or younger be accompanied by an adult.

Limited soup n salad menu available + pastries and coffee drinks from the cafe side. Pull up a chair and enjoy each others company.

ABOUT YOUR HOST

The Death Café will be hosted by Rebecca Churt, a death doula in training and founder of the online grief community, THE GRIEVERY.

We are open: Monday, 7am-2pm Tuesday - Fri, 7am-9pm Saturday, 8am-9pm Sunday, 8am-2pm

Quarteto de Samba
May

6:00 PM18:00

Quarteto de Samba

Quarteto de Samba is a musical journey to Brazil. Led by Tarcisio (Taz).  Taz's passion for his cultural heritage and his band mates, Sam, Henry and Jean, drives the band's mission to spread musical diversity in western mass and beyond.

Quarteto de Samba is a kaleidoscope of Brazilian sounds from Samba to Bossa Nova, from Brazilian funk to Choro, and Forró. With each song, they transport audiences to the lively streets of Rio de Janeiro or the cozy cafes of São Paulo.

At the heart of the ensemble are four dedicated musicians, each committed to celebrating and preserving Brazilian musical traditions as well as adding their own spice to the performance. Sam Stouffer on the percussion plays the quintessential Brazilian Pandeiro, Henry Davidson plays the Brazilian guitar, while Jean plays the mandolin and accordion adding layers of texture and depth to the band's sound.

Taz serves as both lead vocalist and instrumentalist, switching between the flute and cavaquinho. Together, their voices unite in traditional call and response fashion, creating a unique Brazilian atmosphere.

Domingo Brunch featuring Lexi Weege

Every Sunday Dottie’s serves up Domingo Brunch; a mix of delicious food, live music and extraordinary drinks. This Sunday we are excited to welcome back powerhouse performer, Lexi Weege.

Lexi Weege is no stranger to the road. The Western Mass-based powerhouse singer/songwriter grew up in a traveling Cabaret troupe, and she’s been on the move ever since. After years of touring and three full-length releases with her band Weege & The Wondertwins, Lexi released her third solo album in 2022. Combining the best of classic country, Motown, and soul, Weege’s original songs are full of spirit.
Whether she’s crooning a heartbroken ballad or belting out the blues, Lexi Weege's dexterous voice is at the heart of it all. Her acrobatic vocals soar high and plunge low, tugging at your heartstrings. Expect to dance, and maybe shed a bittersweet tear, too. Weege is a gifted storyteller.
Her nearly twenty years of experience is evident in the craft of her songwriting, and in the bold confidence she exudes onstage. Lexi Weege's six releases, national tours, and hundreds of shows have happened independently, without any label backing. A true believer in the power of DIY, Weege is surely an old soul, and one of a kind.

Domingo Brunch featuring Quarteto de Samba

Quarteto de Samba is a musical journey to Brazil. Led by Tarcisio (Taz).  Taz's passion for his cultural heritage and his band mates, Sam, Henry and Jean, drives the band's mission to spread musical diversity in western mass and beyond.

Quarteto de Samba is a kaleidoscope of Brazilian sounds from Samba to Bossa Nova, from Brazilian funk to Choro, and Forró. With each song, they transport audiences to the lively streets of Rio de Janeiro or the cozy cafes of São Paulo.

At the heart of the ensemble are four dedicated musicians, each committed to celebrating and preserving Brazilian musical traditions as well as adding their own spice to the performance. Sam Stouffer on the percussion plays the quintessential Brazilian Pandeiro, Henry Davidson plays the Brazilian guitar, while Jean plays the mandolin and accordion adding layers of texture and depth to the band's sound.

Taz serves as both lead vocalist and instrumentalist, switching between the flute and cavaquinho. Together, their voices unite in traditional call and response fashion, creating a unique Brazilian atmosphere.

Death Cafe

Join us for a heart-warming experience. Sip on soothing drinks and share communal conversations about life, love and death.

WHAT IS A DEATH CAFÉ?

It’s a guided group discussion where people come together to talk openly + candidly about life, mortality, death, dying, + related topics. Death Café serves our community as a doorway into the shared exploration of our love of life and respect for death.

The aim of a Death Café is not to provide grief counseling or to promote any particular religious or spiritual beliefs, but rather to encourage honest conversations with the goal of promoting greater awareness and acceptance of death as a natural part of life. It’s an inclusive, safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where people can share their thoughts, experiences, and questions about death in a respectful and supportive environment. A place for exchanges and deep listening as well as a space where you can practice being brave.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Death Café is free + open to anyone who wants to talk about death. All are welcome from hospice workers, doulas, the terminally ill, elderly, those experiencing a loss to the death-curious. Please have anyone ages 16 or younger be accompanied by an adult.

Limited soup n salad menu available + pastries and coffee drinks from the cafe side. Pull up a chair and enjoy each others company.

ABOUT YOUR HOST

The Death Café will be hosted by Rebecca Churt, a death doula in training and founder of the online grief community, THE GRIEVERY.
