Welcome to the Death Café at Charlton Public Library! What is a Death Café, you ask? A Death Café is a group directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or course of action, no set conclusions and no judgement. Death Cafés provide a safe environment to gather, eat cake, drink tea or coffee, and enjoy open-minded conversation about dying and death. It is an opportunity to share, explore and question our own perceptions of death. It’s not a bereavement session – just an open conversation about a topic that we often find taboo. You are welcome to share as much or as little as you wish. The group meets monthly on the third Thursday of the month beginning on Thursday, September 19, from 6-7:30 pm in Dexter Hall. Questions? Email kwalker4@mac.com.
The Death Cafe model was developed by Jon Underwood and Sue Barsky Reid, based on the ideas of Bernard Crettaz. Read more about it HERE.
