Seasonally
Death Café
Select Sundays | 1:30pm
The object of the Death Café is 'to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives'. Many people feel that our culture has an unhealthy fear and discomfort with the topic of death. Jon Underwood (founder) felt strongly that opening up the dialogue about death would help people cope better with their own mortality. He established a movement called Death Café, where people could meet together to talk about any aspect regarding death of their choosing. These meeting are not about grief counselling; there is no agenda, or advice giving, and they always include cake and coffee.
