Among the many benefits of talking about death, participating in a Death Café helps us:
(a) live in the moment,
(b) appreciate life more,
(c) put things in perspective,
(d) identify what really matters,
(e) find purpose to our losses,
(f) move through our grief,
(g) work through our regrets,
(h) find meaning in our life,
(i) come closer to ourselves and one another.
The Death Cafe IS:
• a space to meet simply as people who are going to die
• a gathering with no intention of leading participants to any conclusion, product or course of action
• an open, respectful and confidential space where people can express their views safely
• tolerant and reverent, honoring all views with equanimity
• open to and respectful of people of all communities, all ages, all belief systems
• a frank discussion alongside tea, coffee, and baked goods!
The Death Cafe is NOT:
• a bereavement support or grief counseling setting
• for advice giving
• for people who, for whatever reason, are not able to discuss death comfortably and openly
• an opportunity to give people information about death and dying
• for profit
• for networking or promoting a business, service, or product
• for handing out business cards or promotional materials
• a method of community engagement, research or consultation
Bring an open mind and an open heart along with your contemplations about aging, loss, grief, mortality, dying and death.
Death Café is an international movement founded in 2011 (www.deathcafe.com).
Death Cafés in San Miguel de Allende are facilitated by members of the
volunteer Life, Death, and Transition Doula team of Fundación EKR México Centro since 2018.
