Death Cafe: Tea, Cake, and Conversation

Tuesday, May 12

7:00 – 8:30 pm

Onsite only

Inspired from the work of Swiss sociologist Bernard Crettaz’s “Death Mortels,” Death Cafes became more well known in the US by Jon Underwood and a team of other people. The objective behind a Death Café is “to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives.” It is not a support or counseling group, but a place for people to sit together over cake and tea to discuss in an “accessible, respectful and confidential space” about death without “an agenda, theme or objective.” We kindly ask that participants do not promote their business or services at this event.

Spaces are limited to ensure an open, easy and comfortable setting.
