Death Café

A death….café? What in the world is that?

A Death Cafe part of a worldwide movement to promote open discussion of death, dying, and mourning (more than 17,000 death cafés have been held worldwide since the idea’s inception in 2011) in a welcoming, communal environment, a group-directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counseling session, meant to create time to discuss death and its attendant issues without expectations or judgments. In Death Café tradition, refreshments will be provided!
