MORTALITEA
CIRCLE COLLECTIVE
STARTS MONDAY 7TH APRIL
A MOVEMENT TO HOLD HUNDRED'S OF CIRCLES DURING ONE WEEK TO CHANGE THE WAY WE TALK ABOUT DEATH & DYING
Would you like to help your community talk about death in a safe, open-hearted way?
This Dying Matters Week (May 5-11th), we’re inviting people to host their own MortaliTea Circle—a gentle space to gather, share, and simply be heard.
NO EXPERTISE REQUIRED
You don’t need to be an expert, just someone willing to hold space. And you won’t be alone! From April 7-16th, I’ll be offering supportive guidance to help you feel confident in bringing people together for this important conversation.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
STEP 1
Join the 'MortaliTea Circle' movement in support of Dying Matters Weeks and begin visualising your own circle.
Pop a time in your diary for your own MortaliTea Circle during 5-11th May.
STEP 2
Pop the live zoom call dates in your diary; 7th, 10th, 14th & 16th April 12-1pm GMT.
Then download the circle planning guide.
STEP 3
Join the live sessions* hosted by Rachael who will walk with you as you create, plan and prepare your own MortaliTea Circle during Dying Matters Week.
*All sessions will be recorded if you cannot attend live.
STEP 4
Create and host your own simple MortaliTea Circle between 5-11th May (your circle can be in-person or online)
IS THIS CALLING YOU?
☕ You feel drawn to holding space but aren’t sure where to start. You’d love some gentle guidance to help you create a welcoming, supportive space—without overthinking it.
☕ You’ve held space before, but long for connection and community. You know the power of gathering in circle, and you want to be part of something bigger—a shared movement of deep conversations and human connection.
☕ You want to help change the way we talk about death. You believe in the importance of these conversations and want to offer your community a safe, open-hearted space to explore them.
☕ You don’t want to do this alone. Having support, encouragement, and a simple framework will help you take action—with love, ease, and confidence.
☕ You’re ready to step forward—gently, but with purpose. No need for expertise, just a willingness to listen, hold space, and let the conversation unfold.
Together, we’ll create something deeply human, deeply needed, and beautifully simple.
Are you in?
Let’s normalize conversations about death and create meaningful connections in our communities—one cup of tea at a time.

WHO IS GUIDING YOU?
Rachael Carter is the founder of the end-of-life Soul Doulas™ programme, TEDx Speaker, Wellbeing & Spiritual Life Coach and experienced MortaliTea Circle Facilitator.
Rachael has supported hundreds of people of their dying journeys since Jan 2013, has held hundreds of conversations around death & dying during that time and is passionate about changing the way we talk about death & dying.
Being able to talk about death and hold compassionate space for others to talk about death, is truly freeing, actually increases general wellbeing - and guess what? It really isn't morbid!
We make plans for all sorts during our lifetime. Such as getting married, having children, career moves and holidays - all of which might not even happen. However, death is the one thing that will definitely happen and we try to not even think about it."
