About this Event

WHAT IS A DEATH CAFÉ?

It’s a guided group discussion forum where people come together to talk openly + candidly about the meaning of life, mortality, death, dying, + related topics.

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 + acceptance of death as a natural part of life.

It’s an inclusive, safe, confidential + non-judgmental space where people can share their thoughts, experiences, + questions about death in a respectful + supportive environment. A place for exchanges + deep listening as well as a space where you can be brave. There’s no intention of leading people to any conclusion, product or course of action.

Death Café serves our community as a doorway into the shared exploration of our love of life + respect for death.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Everyone has their own reasons for getting involved in a Death Café + talking about death won’t K*ll us!
