Welcome to the Death Cafe: Where people go for a drink and talk about dying
Posted by Josefine Speyer on June 24, 2015, 1:46 a.m.
I host monthly meetings of Death Cafes in this lovely large space at Cafe Rouge in Hampstead and this Death Cafe was especially set up to be filmed for Metro.co.uk, the online branch of the London freebie news paper everyone reads on the underground.
We had an interesting two hour conversation around the table, but unfortunately none of this found it's way into the final video. Everyone was interviewed but only some of my interview (Josefine) was used (looking worn out at the end of a very long day).
But still, an interesting little pluck for Death Cafe, wouldn't you say?

A beautifully written ode to the experience of a first time attendee. We would like to thank Liz Langley for her efforts and John Underwood for creating Death Cafe. It has been and continues to be one of our most passionate projects as facilitators.
This is a little article about our Death Cafe Girona, written by a local newspaper. It explains where and when is the first Death Cafe and some explanation about what is it, and also who are the authors of it.
I am the author of this article and attended several five sessions of the Buffalo Death Cafe. This relflects my experience of the group. It was facilitated by Andre Toth.

Death cafes: Discussing death in a casual atmosphere

This cafe in Spain is just a normal cafe if it wasn't for the conversations that take place here. Death, deceased relatives and life beyond death are some of the topics discussed in death cafes like this, a concept started in London and that has now extended to 20 countries around the world.

Gracie Lofthouse was one of the journalists who came to our Death Cafe Hampstead in May this year. This article looks at many aspects and attitudes to dying, death, funerals, and people involves in the alternative scene to bring about change, including Death Cafe.
Breaking the mold that has gone a bit mouldy! A very interesting read.

Carrie Seidman of the Herald-Tribune in Sarasota, Florida did several interviews with two Death Cafes (in Sarasota and Ocala), as well as a few other organizations related to death and dying.
Alan Young of the Ocala Star Banner was the photographer. The article was published in both newspapers.
Thanks to everyone who participated in these interviews.

On a blazing summer afternoon, cars vie for the few shaded parking spots outside Radiance of Sarasota, a storefront in a small strip mall billed as a "wellness and inspiration center."
Visitors, mostly aged 50-plus, enter the center's cool, dimly lit quarters, where they're invited to help themselves to tea, pastel-colored pastries, gluten-free brownies and a seat within a large circle of chairs.
They are not necessarily seeking radiance, wellness or inspiration. They are here to participate in a frank, open-ended discussion about life's grand finale at the monthly Sarasota Death Cafe.
The idea? To provide a casual ...
Thanks !
