NYZ: Death Café
At a Death Cafe people – often strangers – gather to eat cake, drink tea and discuss death.
The objective is to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives.
A Death Café 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.
Death Cafés 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!
Shobo-ji’s first Death Café meeting will be co-facilitated by death doula Hildie Dunn and Jiko Chloe Martin.
There is no fee to participate. Contributions are welcome. Please RSVP so we know how much cake to get!
