(4:00 pm) Death Cafe
Location: Chapin Memorial Library - Large Study Room (207)
Program Type: Adult
A Death Cafe is a time and place where people, often strangers, come to share cake, sip
tea or coffee, and discuss death openly and honestly. The aim is to increase awareness
about death in order to help people make the most of their (finite) lives. There is never an
intention of leading participants to any conclusion, product or course of action. Interesting
conversations are guaranteed!
We’ll embrace the principles of the
International DeathCafé movement that began in London, as we will try to
foster a deeper understanding of death and its role in
shaping our lives.
There's no agenda, no sales pitches — just authentic
conversations driven by the interests of the participants.
All are welcome to attend any/all sessions and can
participate as much as they are comfortable. However,
it's important to note that
this is not a grief support
group or counseling session — it's a space for
questioning, sharing, exploration and connection.
These are no-charge events. Brian Long, who has led
more than 76 Death Cafes in Pennsylvania and Myrtle
Beach, is our facilitator.
*Minors under the age of 17 are required to have parental consent to attend.
*Each cafe session is limited to 10 participants.
