Death Cafe

Dear Friends,

You are invited to a Death Café experience where strangers gather to demystify the notion of death.

We hope to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their lives. The experience will be a group discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counseling session. Death Cafés help people talk about death and dying in a supportive, unstructured way.

The Death Café approach, currently used in more than 81 countries worldwide, allows individuals to discuss difficult topics, increasing their self-awareness, potentially reducing death anxiety and augmenting compassionate connections through conversation and personal sharing (Miles and Corr, 2015; Fong, 2017; Chang, 2021).

Death Cafes are always:

• Open to, and respectful of, people of all communities and belief systems.
• In an accessible, respectful and confidential space
• With no intention of leading people to any conclusion, product or course of action

***Have cake!

We look forward to seeing you!

Please RSVP to sari.hirsh@jcam.org no later than Tuesday, June 24. Space is limited.
