The Death Cafe is a simple concept-bring strangers together to discuss one of the great universal truths: death. With thousands of chapters in over 26 countries around the world, Death Cafes are informal gatherings that aim to “increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their lives.” There is no set agenda, but conversations are generally about beliefs, thoughts, and feelings about death and dying. This is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counseling session.

Moderator Bre Clark, a death doula and former OATS employee, invites you to share your anxieties, hopes, and questions about death. It’s an opportunity for safe and open exchanges.
