Death Cafe
What is a Death Cafe ?
A Death Cafe is a place for people of all ages to discuss issues related to death and dying. The goal is to support each other in normalizing talk about death, which is an important part of life. It is a free gathering that is completely participant led. It is not therapy or a grief group. There is no agenda. We take turns speaking or just listening, thoughtfully and respectfully – you decide what you want to do at Death Cafe. All ideas and beliefs are honored and respected.
This Death Cafe is hosted by:
