(a) live in the moment, (b) appreciate life more, (c) put things in perspective, (d) identify what really matters, (e) find purpose in our losses, (f) heal through our grief, (g) overcome our regrets, (h) find meaning in our lives, (i) connect with ourselves and others.

What is a Death Cafe?

The Death Café (www.deathcafe.com) is an international movement founded in England by Jon Underwood, based on the work of Bernard Crettaz. At a Death Café, people, often strangers, gather to eat cake, drink tea or coffee, and talk about death with the intention of raising mortality awareness and helping people make the most of their finite lives.

The Death Café IS:

♦  a meeting with no intention of leading the participants to any conclusion, product, or course of action
♦  an open, respectful and confidential space where people express their views in a safe way
tolerant, reverent, respecting all points of view with equanimity
♦  open and respectful to people of all communities, ages, belief systems
♦  a frank discussion over tea or coffee and cake

The Death Café is NOT:

♦  a grief support or grief counseling setting
♦  to give or receive advice
♦  for people who, for whatever reason, cannot talk about death comfortably and openly
an opportunity to give people information about death and dying
♦  for profit
♦  to establish contacts or promote businesses, services or products
♦  to hand out business cards or promotional materials
♦  a method of community participation, research or consultation

Death Café is free and open to all.

Its hosts and facilitators are members of the Elisabeth Kübler-Ross México Centro Foundation team, psychologists, thanatologists, therapists, medical doctors, death doulas.
