Skip to the End Book Club
A Book Club for Existential Thinkers
Skip to the End Book Club spun off from Austin Death Doulas as a place where we could read thoughtful books about life, death, and everything in between.
We read books about death and dying, illness, caregiving, spirituality, and other topics that call on us to stretch our understanding of what it means to be mortal.
Open to anyone who wants to engage in open and caring discussion with people who may share and challenge your perspectives on life and death.
UPDATE!
As of July, 2026, we will begin meeting the last Monday of each month at 6:30 pm. Meetings will alternate meeting online and in-person to allow for accessibility and multiple opportunities for engagement and connection.
Please check below for our upcoming events. We hope to see you soon!
