Life & Death Cafe

What is a Life & Death Cafe?

At a Life & Death Cafe, people come together to talk about life and death.  The goal of a Life & Death Cafe is to increase awareness of death to help people make the most of their lives.   


A Life & Death Cafe is a group-directed discussion; there are no agendas or objectives.   It is an open discussion that meanders wherever the group takes it.   A Life & Death Cafe does not lead attendees to any conclusions or course of action and does not promote any products.  


Death informs life.  By talking about it, by holding the conversation, and by caring listening, today's choices about how we want to live our lives can become much more clear.
