Join us for a heart-warming experience. Sip on soothing drinks and share communal conversations about life, love and death.

WHAT IS A DEATH CAFÉ?

It’s a guided group discussion where people come together to talk openly + candidly about life, mortality, death, dying, + related topics. Death Café serves our community as a doorway into the shared exploration of our love of life and respect for death.

The aim of a Death Café is not to provide grief counseling or to promote any particular religious or spiritual beliefs, but rather to encourage honest conversations with the goal of promoting greater awareness and acceptance of death as a natural part of life. It’s an inclusive, safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where people can share their thoughts, experiences, and questions about death in a respectful and supportive environment. A place for exchanges and deep listening as well as a space where you can practice being brave.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Death Café is free + open to anyone who wants to talk about death. All are welcome from hospice workers, doulas, the terminally ill, elderly, those experiencing a loss to the death-curious. Please have anyone ages 16 or younger be accompanied by an adult.

Limited soup n salad menu available + pastries and coffee drinks from the cafe side. Pull up a chair and enjoy each others company.
