Program Description

Event Description

Death Café is a welcoming space where people gather to share open, thoughtful conversations about death while enjoying tea, cake, and community.

The goal of a Death Café is to increase awareness of mortality, helping participants reflect on and make the most of their lives. These discussions are group-led, with no set agenda, themes, or objectives. Please note that this is not a grief support or counseling session.

Death Café is always:

  • Free and open to all.
  • Held in a respectful, accessible, and confidential setting.
  • A space for discussion, not direction—there is no intended outcome or agenda.
  • Accompanied by refreshments, good company, and, of course, cake!

We welcome you to join the conversation.
