Death Cafe

A Death Cafe is a group meeting with no agenda where people can openly discuss death and dying over food and drink. The goal is to normalize conversations around mortality in a safe, respectful, and confidential environment, which can help people confront fears, better understand death, and even lead to a greater appreciation for life. Death Cafes are not grief support groups, but rather a public service to provide a space for discussion and sharing.

The concept was started by Swiss sociologist Bernard Crettaz in 2004, and later introduced to the UK by Jon Underwood in 2011, after which it spread globally.

This event is free and open to the public - suggested donation of $5 for use of the space. Snacks will be provided. Please bring a beverage of your choice.
