What is Death Café?

Death Café is a safe space for conversation about topics of interest to participants about death, dying and end-of-life issues. 

Some topics that may arise:

• What happens after death?
• How do I help my parents prepare for end of life?
• How do I even bring up the topic?
• What about talking to children about a death?
• What about loss of a pet?
• What about natural burial?
• What are near death experiences?
• And so much more!

There can be laughter! And there can be tears.  Conversations about destigmatizing death and exploring feelings about end-of-life issues can be both emotional and inspirational. 

Everyone is welcome – participation is free and open to curious people of all ages, all backgrounds with different motivations, experiences, and interests. Each conversation has a host who supports open dialogue – with no set agenda or objective – but maybe with some really stimulating questions! 

A few simple ground rules support confidential conversation and ensure respectful sharing of diverse views and beliefs.
