What is a Death Cafe?

At a Death Cafe people, often strangers, gather to discuss death. On this occasion we will be hosted in the Centre's Tibetan Tearoom and sit in small groups around a pot of tea, with five people on each table facilitated by a member of the KSDL Bardo Group. 

The Death cafe is an opportunity to explore your unheard views on death and to listen and delight in the views of others on the same subject. The 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. It is a discussion group and is not 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.

Important: As places are limited, please make sure to cancel your booking if you are unable to attend, so that we can allocate your place to someone on the waiting list.
