About the event
A Death Cafe is a social gathering of people, often strangers from many walks of life, organized for the purpose of discussing death, without any formal agenda or commercial pressures. Anyone can attend and chat informally about different aspects of death, ideally over tea and cake, with a goal of making the subject less taboo and scary. Death Cafes were pioneered by Jon Underwood in the U.K., based on the work of Swiss Sociologist Bernard Cretaz. First held in the U.S. by Lizzy Miles, they are now popular all over the world.
Register to receive the link to join us online! Because we will be engaging in a personal conversation with one another it's imporant that participants login promptly at the start time. We will "close the door" to new entrants about 5 minutes after we begin and won't be able to allow anyone else into the call. We ask that you come willing to 1) grant this conversation your full attention, 2) introduce yourself and 3) listen and engage with an open mind. There is no formal agenda for this conversation but the facilitators will make efforts to keep the conversation productive and participatory.
