Death Cafe
Join us in a judgment-free environment where participants, often strangers, can openly engage in discussion on the topic of death and dying.
Hosted by: Holman Biotech Commons
Developed in 2011, Death Cafes have since proliferated worldwide, and have been hosted at the Penn Libraries since 2023. This event will offer 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.
