Developed in 2011, Death Cafes have proliferated worldwide, offering a moderated discussion without a predetermined agenda or theme. We do not lead participants to a conclusion, product, or action.

The Death Cafe is not a grief support nor counseling session, but a space for normalizing conversation that deepens our awareness about death.
