Death Cafe
At a Death Cafe people, often strangers, gather to eat cake, drink tea and discuss death.
Our objective is 'to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives'.
A Death Cafe is a group directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counselling session.
Our Death Cafes are always offered:
- On a not for profit basis
- In an accessible, respectful and confidential space
- With no intention of leading people to any conclusion, product or course of action
- Alongside refreshing drinks and nourishing food – and cake!
I completed my End-of-Life Doula training, and while taking it, I discovered Death Cafes. Death Cafes are discussions that are held worldwide about anything related to death. I will share a bit from the website www.deathcafe.com below on what a Death Cafe is.
