Death Cafe

Death Cafe, Saturday September 28th, 1:00-3:00  

Please come to the area’s first ever, Death Cafe.  It will be a gathering of people who meet to discuss death, dying, and grief in a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment. The goal of Death Cafes is to normalize the conversation about death, reduce stigma and anxiety, and help people make the most of their lives. They are not intended to be grief support groups or therapy sessions.   Come share your thoughts, fears, and questions about death over tea and cake.  This Death Cafe will be moderated by Virginia Bonifant, an End of Life Doula.

No cost to attend

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!
