Death Cafe

Death Cafe is a structured, facilitated conversation about death and dying, held over refreshments in a relaxed setting. The aim is to increase awareness of death and help people make the most of their finite lives. Hosted at Rhizome DC, this gathering is open to all who want to share thoughts, questions, or reflections on the topic—without it being a therapy, grief support, or counseling session. Coffee, tea, and desserts are provided. The event is free, with a small donation for the space encouraged.
