Death Cafe

Death Cafe is a facilitated gathering for open, candid conversation about death and dying. Participants share coffee, tea, and desserts while reflecting on mortality and considering how awareness of life’s finiteness can help people live more fully. The discussion is not therapy, grief support, or counseling, and death will be addressed directly and openly.
