    Default Death Cafe

    What is Death Cafe? At a Death Cafe people, often strangers, gather to eat cake, drink tea and discuss death.

    http://deathcafe.com/


    Our objective is 'to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives'.

    A Death Cafe is a group directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counselling session.

    Our Death Cafes are always offered:

    - On a not for profit basis

    - In an accessible, respectful and confidential space

    - With no intention of leading people to any conclusion, product or course of action

    - Alongside refreshing drinks and nourishing food – and cake!

    If you're interested in holding a Death Cafe please see our how-to guide.

    Interesting concept. Death is not something easily talked about in our culture.

    Many do believe that. Even so, the prospect of one's own death is not easy to think about or talk about, especially with ppl who love you.

    When I had my Epiphany, I so believed in the next life,I was praying get me out of this fucked up world,I want to go to the next stop!
    Also I know a certain time and place I will be with the one who owns a piece of my heart,I couldn't enjoy life.
    I learned to wait for that time.
    I know you know who I mean.
