What is a Death Café? An open-ended, informal community conversation about the end of life without any particular goal or agenda.

Why a Death Café? What to expect?

• Arrive at the Greenhouse, grab a tasty drink and some snacks if you’d like, then sit at a table with some other participants. Facilitators will be present to answer any questions and give a brief introduction before conversations begin. Participants practice active, engaged listening with respect for others’ views and experiences.

• Ground rules: respect, compassion, support, and confidentiality. Death Cafés are not designed to focus on bereavement and grief support, but open-ended questions and conversation.

• What happens in a Death Café stays in a Death Café.
